Q. What is the difference between reality and fiction?
A, Fiction has to make sense.
Reality is the stuff and behaviour we observe, measure and manipulate in various sciences. Philosophies are the models and stories we create to guide or justify what we do. Philosophy as a subject is the attempt to show that our philosophies at least make sense.
