Solipsism:

Neo wakes up to discover the 'real world' was a fabricated computer simulation called "The Matrix"...

But in this story there is one crucial difference,
he wasn't rescued by anyone, in fact, there's no one in the 'real' real world at all. He is alone, w/ his Deceiver Phenomenal Consciousness:

It is difficult to describe, admittedly, so I will have to show you... that is, show you what-it-is-like to see the world through another's eyes. Even to see the world at all. Maybe for the very first time.

Science is the casting of syntactic nets, taxonomizing its contents, & adding another layer of mesh b4 casting it anew While much is learned frm studying wht remains, the contents never behave as they did in the water,& wht IS water?A pesky medium net cannot catch /TheoryThread\
