You are correct indeed, sorry for explaining it wrong ^ ^; The point I was trying to make actually relies on the idea of comparative reality. What is the ultimate reference when it comes to defining what is real and what isn't ? In the end, it is simply "you" (cogito ergo sum). If you can fully join a world, any kind of world, then it becomes unquestionably real, because there is no distinction between the two anymore : the world becomes as real as you are, which by definition makes it real in and of itself (different but most definitely real).

This is what Lawrence cannot achieve. He can emulate the experience to perfection thanks to his unlimited Mindshifting as you mentioned, but he cannot truly grant the Metaradise this unique "comparative reality" quality when it comes to himself since he cannot actually join it.

Though truth be told he may not particularly care about it, especially since the Metaradise like the Matrix as a whole are entirely based on empirical data, meaning he can materialize any part of them anytime he wishes, so the difference remains a very moot point either way.

On a side note, the Soul Haven was meant to offer him a human break from his otherwise transcendent nature, so the M/M weren't really suited since his thoughts and reality are the same thing in there. A much better way was to simply use a Selforge Materium avatar with fully sealed capabilities in an independent material plane, which is what I prefered to do ^ ^
