This problem is solved by identifying prior (notion of reality) not with explicit data given by psychological anticipation, but with normative anticipation. That is, reality is explained as that which we should expect, where the shouldness of expectation is not a line from Litany of Tarski, suggesting how one ought to keep an accurate map of reality, but literally explanation of what reality is.
I don’t understand how this is different from believing in reality-fluid. If it’s the same thing, I cannot accept that. If it’s different, could you explain how?
This is an explanation of reality in terms of decision-theoretic heuristics we carry in our heads, as a notion similar to morality and platonic truth. This is of course a mere conceptual step, it doesn’t hand you much explanatory power, but I hope it can make reality a bit less mysterious. Like saying that Boeing 747 is made out of atoms, but not pointing out any specific details about its systems.
I don’t understand what exactly you refer to by reality-fluid, in what sense you see an analogy, and what problem that points out. The errors and confusions of evaluating one’s anticipation in practice have little bearing on how anticipation should be evaluated.
