Main entry
- superstructural fantasy world -> any world created within the universe of a piece of fiction which comes to exist from physical objects and then involves those objects gaining consciousness or becoming a simulation of conscious people. this covers digital worlds, worlds made out of toys, stories where books are based on the physical world around them but then are real, sometimes it might cover modern fiction presenting a picture of religion where it is just religion reverse-engineered to its roots so that actual objects in reality like the earth or lightning are themselves talking and then they go back to being objects. a superstructural fantasy world is a dynamic relationship between the concept of material ideas represented very literally inside fiction and the concept of Idealist ideas represented very literally inside fiction that emerge from the material ideas.

Wendy Oldbag illustrates Idealism
/ Idealism and RPG element systems / Idealism and thematic antagonisms in visual novels / (9k) -> seems tangential at first, but is actually very related to how some superstructural fantasy worlds form. they can begin with personifications of abstract concepts, which could be Death or Nature or could be "what personality a key ring has"- hypostasis (religion) / hypostasis (distillation of Father, Son, or Holy Spirit from observed universe; Christianity) [1] / separation of a linguistic sign into a character or god (linguistics); Death (figure of speech); Nature (figure of speech) / (9k)
- hypostatization (Materialism) / turning abstract Ideals into ontological objects [2] / Idealism (transforming abstract concepts into 'pataphysical entities with specific interactions with other entities; generic) / (9k)
- hyperreality (post-structuralism, postmodern philosophy) [3] / The Matrix (generic) / consumerism (replacing perception of news events or products with perceptions created by corporations) [4] -> "a cultural state of confusion between signs and symbols invented to stand in for reality, and direct perceptions" — wait, so is there any difference between hyperreality and reification? they sound like the same thing here.
- reification (Western-Marxism)
