George Berkeley Decoding Reality

(a) George Berkeley's statement:

reality
consists in
[[being perceived]]
Identified/Token
Process: relational
Identifier/Value

Here the identity decodes reality by reference to being perceived.


(b) Bertrand Russell's querying reply:

[[being perceived]]
consists in
[[being real]]
Identified/Token
Process: relational
Identifier/Value

Here the identity decodes being perceived by reference to being real.
