All things are parts of a common whole with which they have their reality. Their reality does not come from anything special and
external thing. Rational
thinking quickly reveals that many fields of research meet and have a connection regardless of time and space. The first
explanation for their connection is that some fundamental and common phenomena are repeated in different ways. There is a common ground for the variety of
phenomena and combinations, that is some fundamental phenomena and conditions under which their
transformations are possible (so that phenomena belong to the real world and not only to our imagination). Such a "base"
seems to be physical "matter", as many would answer. The problem with the fundamental features of the world or reality is not solved by
the existence of matter. As will be seen (with some misconceptions and contradictions) the common ground/basis of all things is not only
physical matter.*
But it is true that different
fields of research are disciplined in a common knowledge (from abstract concepts and logical relations) that reflects common
elements and laws of all particular things (regardless of their form and name). The conditions under which things are created and
have their own specifications (and exist independently of our observation) are what are simply called "reality". There are
laws and characteristics in things and for the appearance of life, which are not created now. They are not imported now and do not
depend on
environment. Rather, certain characteristics and fixed conditions are required to start things and life.
Footnote
* The equation of the world with matter must stop. Another thing is the world as a single and complete whole and another thing is
matter. Matter is the few pieces of the puzzle and as I have written, matter is a lack of reality or minimal reality and is found in the
full world.

We do not know a sufficient cause of things, we do not know a sufficient purpose of life, we do not have sufficient
knowledge of the world, and coincidentally we do not have enough self-knowledge, nor are we self-existent
