Logic and the World are a continuous Hand-Shaking and Negotiation between Entities-Capable-of-Making-Propositions, Propositions, and Reality as they walk through the entire Space of Possible Propositions about their experience.
Reality should not be considered not as a measuring stick against which we stand our progeny propositions and mark their truth, just as we measure the height of our children against the door jamb to the kitchen, but is a participant in the negotiations over truth value.
It is common to view Reality as the measure we use to determine the truth of what we say, and to think it as some eternal, unchanging "real-ness" (even though it may contain subset realities with local changes of time and space and matter).
But I doubt it. That is why Art is so powerful: it intuits and encapsulates the hand-shake between the Artist and the World, both individual and changing, in a brief moment of Truth.
