The philosophical and sociological position that much of what we experience as objective reality is, in fact, built and maintained through social agreement, language, and shared practices. This doesn't deny physical reality (gravity is real), but argues that the meaning and categories we layer onto it—money, borders, gender roles, justice—are human constructions. These constructions feel real because we all participate in them, but they can and do change across time and cultures. Reality, in this view, is a co-created performance.
