A Little Thingy Called "reality"

Compare: 

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
- Philip K. Dick

"Since our predictions don't always come true, we need different words to describe the thingy that generates our predictions and the thingy that generates our experimental results. The first thingy is called 'belief', the second thingy 'reality'."
