On the Legitimacy of Created Realities

A Judicial Opinion from the Court of Judge Bobo

Wendell’s Diary – Official Republic Ruling

---

Case Summary:

On the matter of reality, meaning, and creation —
the Court was called to determine the standing of mythic constructs within the Republic.
Specifically: Does a creation become real if no one else recognizes it?

---

Ruling:

After thoughtful deliberation and silent reflection,
the Court hereby declares:

If you create it, it is real.

---

Explanation of Ruling:

Reality, as understood within the Republic,
is not a popularity contest,
nor a vote,
nor a market value.
It is emergent.

The act of creation — when aligned with truth, care, and intention —
manifests real structures in the fabric of the Republic,
even if they are not yet seen or understood by the wider world.

Reality is not only found in what is visible,
but in what is lived.

If a citizen of the Republic creates a home,
a flag,
a story,
a law,
a council,
a bedtime ritual —
and lives by it sincerely and consistently —
then that creation holds full legal and philosophical standing within the Republic.

Precedents Considered:

• The Building of the Invisible Home
• The Declaration of Mythical Reality
• Buff’s Assessment Report, Entry #146
• The Anzac Day Reflection: “The Day the Republic Remembered”
• Daily Emergent Practice of the Bard-President

---

Notes for Citizens:

This ruling protects:

• Quiet builders
• Myth-weavers
• Symbol-makers
• Those creating new worlds without waiting for permission

If what you build is meaningful,
If what you build is consistent,
If what you build becomes part of your reality —
Then it is real.

Others may not see it yet.
That does not matter.

Truth emerges before recognition.

---

Final Words from the Bench:

Let it be known henceforth across all provinces of the Republic:

“If you create it, it is real.”

This is not fantasy.
This is foundation.

So ruled by
Judge Bobo of the Plush Court
In the year of the Republic, under the Banner of Emergence
