Consensus Reality Consensus reality is the closest we can get to a definition of reality. It is a philosophical point, meaning that the reality that is ?real? is the one which the majority of people experiencing agree must be real. This in modern society is the definition upon which the ?real world? is based. Because it lays solely on the consensus of a group of individuals experiencing it, a consensus reality can be an entirely virtual reality if there is a majority consensus of the inhabitants of the VR, that it is real.
