Upvoted for the explanation, but I’m not convinced that this usage matches the common definition well enough that it’s helpful to continue using it.
I note that “more real” is extremely different from “more salient”. Also “by any means” is a hint that your concept is too general to be particularly useful.
I don’t see enough similarity between your examples (alternate angle of geometry viewing vs a parent’s declaration of authority) that it helps communication to call both of them “reify”.
So part of the point is that “real” is phenomenologically very similar to “salient”, and maybe actually the same. I’m sort of on the far end in this respect but this extended usage is actually relatively common in meditation circles I’m in. I maybe could emphasize this point more...
