Okay, in scientific terms, you have a stimulus. You have perceivers of this stimulus. You have subjective (individual) responses to this stimulus (based on relative and perceived separation/distance/location). Communication about the stimulus between perceivers is not the stimulus! Thus, the closest understanding of the stimulus is, in the end, you. There are so many "you"s out there, often thinking they are always right on the surface, but deep down understanding that they are not. The reality is in the abstract.

I don't know exactly how to link this in words, but it is comparable to the worth of imaginary numbers in math. Comparable to that concept of i representing a concept we don't even acknowledge as being possible to exist.
