What is the nature of reality?

Reality generally refers to the nature of that which existed in the past, exists in the present and will exist in future, but not always. Sometimes the term reality can be used to refer to the existence of individual experience. Today it can also be used to refer to "unscripted" as in reality TV. So if the context is TV, then the nature or meaning of that use of the term is 'to be unscripted", i.e., Reality TV leaves the impression in the viewer that the show will be unscripted (on account of the meaning being conveyed) .

When many people ask about the nature of reality, they are referring to the reality known to human existence.
