reality vs. "fact"
'''Reality''' is something that is a [[fact]], i.e., a concept, statement, thing, scientific law, or event that can been unequivocally (indisputably) proven to be true. Facts are always based on concrete verified evidence which substantiate their truth. Reality is mind-independent, i.e. reality would continue to be the case whether or not anyone believed it, or indeed whether or not there were any minds to believe it in the first place.
