Abstract
The fabric of subjective reality in the Bubbleverse is described: qualia, sensations, perceptions, rational constructions and beliefs. The way qualia produce sensations demonstrates the active participation of our mind in weaving the fabric of subjective reality. Psychological experiments on people’s understanding of qualia are presented. The distinction between phenomena and rational constructions is discussed in detail, and the functions of rational constructions in stabilising the phenomenalistic fabric of the Bubbleverse are outlined. Beliefs is a special component of the fabric of subjective reality which is fundamentally different from phenomena and rational constructions.
