It is interesting that your description isn't too far away from saying "reality is a consensus built up between entities", which is itself not too far off from Donald Hoffman[0] hypothesizes, which could possibly be framed as "reality is a protocol conscious entities use to communicate".

Man, I've been wondering this for years .. I could never find the right terminology to discuss it. It also kinda means reality is a wave that we propagate down the lineage tree.

It indeed is!

We are merely the vessels, and the agents. Information or the accumulated knowledge is the living entity. We are just adding to it, while also passing it down.

We procreate to keep the information alive.
