>and reality itself (if we are seeing reality itself) is
composed of different layers of reality- Einstein reality, subatomic physics reality, Newtonian
reality- and these conflict- see the single photon dual slit experiments contradicting Newtonian
reality.<

Technically these are not reality ... but various interlocking abstract models (of various degrees of sophistication) whose purpose is to order perceptual reality. The dual slit experiment doesn't contradict a "reality", but a model. Even more picky ... the overextension of a particular model. To misquote the Coen brothers, "reality ... abides."

I'm sure you know this - allow me the semantic nitpicking.
