What is in the world is a joint creation of everyone who plays or contributes both during actual play and during prep, background creation, fiction suggestions like modules, etc.That's one story. But you cannot know fundamentally that apple will do as you predict. It is impossible to predict the future except pragmatically.  Objective truth is not noumenal reality, it is shared agreement of subjective experiences amongst people.  Is reality really there? It's pragmatic to behave so, but we cannot absolutely know such a thing.  To say, "this is the way things are no matter what" is to slip into dogmatism.  And I can take some apple bonking.  I am aware of tilting the apple cart, but I'd rather just talk about gaming.  No personal vendettas here, but if my posts tread to close to the borders, please PM me with specifics.</blockquote>
