Personal reality is the trajectory we trace on the swings and roundabouts of life. For some people its very flat.

True, but you're still within the box.

(to elucidate, I think our box currently extends back to the big bang and contains everything within our event horizon since then... our powers of deduction might expand the size of the box a little i guess in a kind of "brick/foot/pain => brick is real" kind of way. It is important to remember that reality is a concept, admittedly a concept we use to refer to things that are independent of our powers of perception but nevetheless it is still a concept and as such it changes over time. For instance flying pigs are conceivable but not real. Were we however to discover a planet with flying pigs, then they would move into our concept of what is real. Things that are conceivable but not yet substantiated are not commonly considered real even though they might well be).

Maths is the only thing that can reliably be called real.
