This work concerns the distinction of the nature of an individual's conscious reality via the use of a “truth token.” The latter can, most readily, be represented as a unique object or bespoken pattern that is exclusively associated with that person's originating reality. It is a talisman that permits an unequivocal return to that reality upon demand. These objects, or even neurocognitive patterns, access sensory-perceptual, memorial, and/or action-based profiles to characterize their individuality and to subsequently activate their function. The advantages of, and barriers to, achieving the successful implementation of such touchstones are considered here in light of contemporary problems with verifying currently reported expressions of reality, and future challenges to unique distinctions amongst the potentialities for technologically-enabled multi-worlds.
