Actually, just more evidence that Magical Realist can and will copy/paste anything.
Nah, everything we see on TV is just a hologram, since the tv doesn't show anything of itself(except when it's off) what it shows is basically prechosen(sorry, i know there must be a better english word for it, but no idea what) by (human) intelligence.
Our perception of reality is not consciously prechosen by any intelligence as far as we know, and although a lot of our perception is just that, perception, and we're likely to be missing(and misinterpreting) big parts of our reality,
it is not a hologram. That would be the same as stating that the night is a hologram, because in the night we (usually) perceive less of reality.
All this means is that there are more dimensions than we perceive directly. You can think of time as the advancing wavefront between past and future, like a 2-dimensional membrane, the same way a hologram is flat but can represent 3D shapes. To us, reality has three dimensions, but from an imaginary perspective outside of time, we are flat. I don't think this is justification for supernatural shit, but it just might be the way things are.
