virtual in physics is no the same as virtual in digital terms  and as we
have seen such confusion after leads us astray -- remember w hat was it
called the Whirling Wui li Master -- and then there was  Zen and
Motorcycle Maintenance -- the virtual in question is like a phantom limb
-- If this is so then the  question  becomes what is the nature of the
phenomena experienced when we are immersed by and in this  medium

Though the  significant differences between  the two is both the medium
and whose writing the program as such VR is a simulacra/ representation 
of an imagined unreal at best and of the everyday at its worst
