Reason is something within the entire realm called existence, or what the Greeks called "Being".

"Existence and identity are not attributes of existents, they are the existents. . . . The units of the concepts “existence” and “identity” are every entity, attribute, action, event or phenomenon (including consciousness) that exists, has ever existed or will ever exist."

That of course includes the phenomenon of reason, an attribute of the thinking mind of a physical being.

It could just possibly be the other way around. Quantum mechanics tells us that the observer effects the experiment. Other theorists have suggested that the fabric of the universe is consciousness.

So I think the jury is out on this question.

Yes.

Reasoning is of the individual's mind. Existence is Universal, infinite, eternal.

The only sense existence will have is what you make of it, otherwise existence just "IS".

So reason can be subjective or . . . dual.
