"Reality is that which doesn't go away when you stop believing in it"
I gave very specific examples. When I open the trunk of my car, are there now two cars, one with the trunk not opened, and one with the trunk opened?
Now there may be two universes (many worlds interpretation), but so far there is no evidence that this interpretation has validity, and we have no way of accessing these two universes. As such, it is not a very useful description of the way the world works, as it doesn't actually visibly work that way, and very specifically visibly works differently.
> Time, after all, is (we believe) simply another dimension of spacetime
And objects move through space-time, thus changing (mutating) in their attributes. Objects aren't immutable in space-time and have to be destroyed/recreated continuously.
Not sure what reality you're inhabiting, but in mine, state is coterminous with identity, and mutation of state therefore creates a new entity.
That is, we are all value objects, all matter is information, all information is functional, and perception is therefore the lazy evaluation of the universe.
Note: this is especially important when you are the banana.
