Your argument construction falls apart right here. There is a BIG difference between PERCEPTION of reality and REALITY itself. In the first part you set up the discussion based on an individual person's PERCEPTION of reality. It is not logical to conclude that personal perception and physical reality are the same thing.

The assertion that there is no ACTUAL reality, just a "personal, subjective interpretation" of reality that allows each individual to structure their own reality, is "Postmoderism".
