Thanks to Donal. I'll try to continue our lonely conversation this evening. A correction first. I wrote
So, there must be a Reality ‘outside’ or ‘beyond’ our perceptions that can be ‘experienced’ other than by perception, and here one might ask: How is this known? Yet, this can’t be answered unless the experiencing of R and the perceiving of trees and clouds can occur together: we know this can’t happen, for it could there would be no question of how perceptions >match or don’t match Reality.
This should read ...we know this can't happen, for /if/ it could there woiuld be no question...
