This question is ultimately a follow up to this one

For the context of the question, assume that a metaphysical reality is a reality that can be conceived without contradiction and that these realities are mutually exclusive. For example, "God operating in the world" and "the Christian God operating in the world" are not mutually exclusive. The former is implied by the latter. For example, one kind of reality may involve the Christian God who operates in the world. Or the Islamic God. Or some invisible spaghetti monster running the world. Etc

Final answer:

Metaphysics explores the nature of reality and what makes something real. It is debated whether multiple realities can exist simultaneously, but a distinction must be made between different experiences/views within a reality and multiple entire realities.

Step-by-step explanation:

In metaphysics, the question of what makes something real and the nature of reality is explored. When determining whether something is real, one must consider if it exists without contradiction and has a corresponding existence outside of the mind. It is debated whether multiple realities can exist simultaneously, but it is important to distinguish between different experiences/views within a reality and multiple entire realities.
