Non-virtual existence (usually pronounced 'ril'). This term was originally coined back before the Earth Technocalypse apparently to represent the then-valid dichotomy between 'imaginary' experiences drawn from electronic entertainment media and those experienced in the flesh, without electronic interpretation.

This term has since morphed into the more common definition of a personal experience of reality (as compared to another's personal experience). Contrast with VR.(Anglic, from Old Earth English "real life").
