it is often helpful to clock when things become cyclical or circular, or where meaning loops back around on itself in productive ways. there are lots of names for this with different specificities. epanalepsis. chiasmus. i feel myself inside a really significant and exciting loop right now.
this framing -- reality (=100%), representation (=tiny fraction) -- is metaphysically wrong --- signs are conditions under which anything like “reality” becomes determinable, differentiable, sayable at all. if you start here, the underdetermination problem becomes MUCH more interesting.
