https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality

There are four steps of hyperreal reproduction:

  1. Basic reflection of reality, i.e. in immediate perception
  2. Perversion of reality, i.e. in representation
  3. Pretense of reality, where there is no model
  4. Simulacrum, which "bears no relation to any reality whatsoever"
