Well, its both really. If we want to have a shared reality experience, then we would need the participation of "Others", otherwise it is all an elaborate lucid dream. You might think of it like a client server situation. The client computer creates the VR environment locally, but gets information to do so from the central server. All of the client computers send info to the server, and the server sends back information to create the shared reality experience. One can create alone as well, but then it is just you in your universe alone.
