Your definition of illusion still begs the question, either by assuming a subject or assuming a reduction to further experience is needed. Like I said, illusion only requires that perception differ from truth.

> Any attempt to eliminate qualia or self or intentionality, etc. as being fundamental realities runs into the problem that all these things are more fundamental to my understanding than any proposed alternative.

1. Perception is fundamental to understanding. Whether experience is fundamental is very questionable.

2. Being fundamental doesn't entail something is irreducible. Being in a car is fundamental to driving on a road, that doesn't entail cars are irreducible.
