In this essay I share my views on the categories of reality. I argue that the multiverse is at the most basic level and it contains the set of the initial conditions. I use implications of the work of Gödel and Cantor to demonstrate that limitations of mathematics may suggest it is contained within the realm of laws. I reason laws need to be in an independent realm from the multiverse which is space and time independent. Finally, I speculate on the possibility that complexity contained within the class of laws, may spontaneously give rise to a new phase.
