I think you'd find the philosopher Jean Baudrillard really interesting [0]. He wrote extensively about how humans create structure/models/frameworks around everything that approximate the "real" world into something we can work with. He calls them simulations, and i think he goes as far as to argue that it is in fact the "real world" underlying those simulations that doesn't exist; or ceases to exist once it's been simulated.
