(a) To what extent is this usage of "brick reality" an established
usage?
I've never heard it, but I like it. I've usually heard something ordinary
like "physical reality" in contrast with "virtual reality." I do like seeing
the word "reality" there, btw. I find it inaccurate to contrast virtual life
with "real life" since I find virtual life quite real.
I apologize that these questions may be somewhat outside the scope of
this list, and I apologize if the answers are too obvious to native
speakers.
I don't see them as outside of the scope of the list at all. Nor are the
answers obvious. (My answer to question 2 & 3 is "I don't know.")
