metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: From an ontological point of view, virtuality is generally considered a simulation: i.e. not a case of true
  being, and never more than an illusory copy, referring in each instance to its real original. It is treated
  as something imagined — and, phenomenologically speaking, as an intentional object. It is also often
  characterized as fictive. On the other hand, the virtual world itself is extremely rich, and thanks to new
  technologies is growing with unbelievable speed, so that it now influences the real world in quite unexpected ways. Thus, it is also sometimes considered real. In this paper, against those who would regard
  virtuality as fictional or as real, I claim that the virtual world straddles the boundary between these two
  ways of existence: that it becomes real. I appeal to Roman Ingarden’s existential ontology to show that
  virtual objects become existentially autonomous, and so can be attributed a form of actuality and causal
  efficaciousness. I conclude that the existential autonomy and actuality of virtual objects makes them
  count as real objects, but also means that they undergo a change in their mode of existence.
