In fact I am rather disappointed. "Self-distributed" indicates that reality is all that can exist anywhere at anytime, except outside or externally. Hence reality is not external to itself.
Are you going to make this simple truth into a complicated issue too?
self-distributing - distributing itself automatically

Now if you're referring to the expansion of space, I guess we could call that self-distributing, but what you're describing would be more appropriately called self-contained. And its a trivial truism that nothing si "external to itself".
The problem still lies in your (and Langan's) misuse of language.

Both Langan and me have made observations on the existence of God through psy phenomenon. All theories are mental contructs that have objective reality as their content. Hence, "theory of reality".
LOL! "Psy phenomenon"? You're chock full of woo. No wonder you're complete incapable of justifying any of your nonsense.
