not sure I get it right bc I have cached thoughts on this, but I like that you can formulate it as <statement> under <reality>

which, interestingly, from the POV of the statement, makes subjunctive realities indistinguishable from "real" ones

for some classes of ontologies, this gets rid of grounding: nothing needs to "confer" reality, anything you can imagine exists

btw, ontology-wise, I have a concept of inside/outside views of minds that maps neatly to realities and needs writing down

core idea being that the "inside view" is the experience of a mind and the "outside view" what others can measure

in subjective idealism, one knows these "inside views" as "realities" and the universe is just another mind
