Reality is a Foam

I want to talk a little bit about reality: both  "given" realities  and "non-given" realities.  I use these terms because of ease and because of the way I happen to think, that does not mean that these terms are correct or that other and better terms may be more apply applied.

 In discussing my idea I am usually referring to a given reality, a reality born of a certain circumstance, a certain frame of reference and existing as long as those circumstances are in place.  The nature of the circumstance or frame of reference that creates that given reality  is of limitless possibilities as it may be any thing in the universe: it may be physical or concepts like time and space that translate to reality or it may be morality, emotions and everything in between, in every combination possible.  It is what it is. This is the reality that we live in, a given reality of ourselves our universe and the things that affect us.  It is this, a given reality that I believe we will eventually be able to define and calculate   And when it's over it's over just winking out of existence and budding off into some other reality, perhaps carrying the heritage forward in different ways.
When we look at the fundamental reality,  non-given reality, that  amalgam of all possible future and past "given realities" winking in and out of existence, we see that reality at the deepest most fundamental level is really a type of foam.

Reality of any nature, given or non-given is of course a concept; it does not occupy space nor time but can not only exist in and outside of both, but can in many ways define both.
