Reaalitasoa

Reaalitasoa is a neologism used in some online communities and speculative writing to describe a perceived convergence of physical reality with digital overlays and simulated environments. The term is not widely attested in established reference works, and its precise meaning can vary by context. Generally, reaalitasoa denotes a state or condition in which everyday perception is increasingly mediated by augmented data, ubiquitous sensors, and networked media, leading to experiences that blend tangible surroundings with virtual information.

The etymology of reaalitasoa is uncertain; it appears to be a constructed compound drawing on the word "reality" plus a suffix resembling those found in various languages. Because there is no standard origin, the term is often treated as a niche or speculative concept rather than a formal one.

In usage, reaalitasoa appears in discussions about augmented reality, mixed reality, and the philosophy of technology. Proponents may use it to discuss how identity, space, and privacy are shaped when digital content becomes a persistent layer of everyday life, while critics warn of blurring boundaries and information overload.

Related concepts include augmented reality, mixed reality, the reality-virtuality continuum, digital humanities, and postdigital theory. As a neologism, reaalitasoa lacks a fixed definition and is primarily found in informal discourse and fictional contexts rather than in scholarly literature.
