What if reality was an illusion?

One could ask how to define illusion, and find that the perceptivity of illusion is reality if accepting that effects of illusion are persistent across the instantiated scope of the illusion. One could also state that illusion is not part of reality for the degree of causality does not conform to generalized causality despite the illusion taken place into the sphere of reality itself. Both sides give arguments, and it would be pretty hard to get a definitive conclusion, but:

If reality where to be an illusion, it would require that reality is completely duplicatable, unless can be reasoned that it is a uniuqe form of illusion at its core of course, and that the probability of the base reality being also an illusion is incremental to reality being an illusion because if trying to continuate this reasoning, one will end up with a hyperbolian sphere of complexity, simply put, the more hyperbolian an eucludian space is, the higher the probability of it being an illusion (read a repeatable process) So if reality where an illusion, the hyperbolical state would have a higher probability to extist, and scientists would discover an interlocking pattern that is found everywhere.

Currently, the odds of this reality being not an illusion is considered fairly small by many, though no one has yet a finitive statement on the matter if only looking to scientifics. 😇 From a more religious or spiritual side of things, I would argue that if there where to be "soul", "karma", and "supernatural forces", if we live in an illusion, these concepts would have to be either reproducable or proven to be false. This may become more tricky if considering that the self could visit an illusion and thus making one not fully part of the illusion thus not reproducable.

So, to wrap up my thoughts, illusion would deal with the infinite creation of new space on the horizon (a hyperbolian eucludian dimention as existance) to make the illusion since this is the only way we can comprihend creation to come into existance unless considering everything was there at ones of course, or having an exotic way of reverse appearing or segmented creation; but in that case it would also mean that existance would not expand from a central perspective from the start at least. 🤔 It would deal with the non-unique and unique pathways that share connections with that what is/are the illusion(s) and the base reality, meaning an illusion would be only able to be proven if there is a logical connection between the illusion and that what is outside of the currently experienced illusion. Many spiritual topics on that matter deal with that in one way or the other. Spirituality is in my opinon prone to therefore be enhanced by the illusion theory, and it becomes more feastable the more these connections are being understood, giving both depth and new questions.. since it would be hyperbolical.. 😋
