>>>Each person has their own reality. The mind is central to this. Everything outside of that I would consider another reality. If there are only two people in the universe, then there would be 3 realities. Each person has one, and then the third one that is not theirs. It can become more complex in theory if you consider overlapping realities, etc.

>>I would assume that the third reality would be a mix (overlap if you will) of the other two, and not a completely detached reality. If no mind is connected to that reality, how can it be a reality?

>I believe that there is reality whether someone is there to observe it or not. Otherwise, there is NULL. I don't believe in NULL, so there must be a third reality. Of course, if I don't exist, and you, an ignorant believer in NULL, is the single person in the universe, then there can only be one reality. Fortunately, I know NULL does not exist, so there are three.

Of course NULL doesn't exist. If it did, it wouldn't be NULL. But the idea that there must be a reality that nobody perceives is not a very worthwhile concept. If nobody perceives it, why do we need to bother to postulate its existence? And if we don't need to bother to postulate its existence, then as far as either of our realities are concerned, it doesn't exist.
