I think fundamentals = realityfluid in this definition, in case that realityfluid doesn’t consist of even simpler elements which is possible but we do not need to commit to it forthe sake of this discussion.
I don’t like the term “realityfluid” being used for the most fundamental elements of the universe because 1) its made from two words which is a terrible fit for something that by definiton isn’t made from anything else; 2) it has “real” in it and “real/unreal” distinction is a confusing and strictly inferrior to “map/territory”.
I don’t mind preserving the reminder that we do not know much about actual fundamental stuff. Lets call it “mages” instead of “fundamentals” then. A short world, and the idea that wizards are the fundamental elements of reality sounds even more ridiculous than some kind of magical fluid.
