Well, I've already said that there is no hierarchy to reality. Truman will leave the studio and experience the same story yet again. He'll come to the realization that it's all a construction out there, too – that it's just another dome. As long as he remains inside the studio, the outside is his blind spot, as it were. The moment he steps outside, he perceives it. But he'll soon discover that the social structure of the outside world is subjected to a system of values that are neither natural nor created by God. It's a matter of a cultural construction. This might have been developed over a long period of time, and it might be a lot bigger than the studio, but it also contains a huge blind spot – only it's not as nice and round as the one before. And that's how it will always be. Redemption, in the sense that modernism formulated it, does not exist. At the very most, we can find it within ourselves.
