"The inherent, fixed nature of reality?" Who says reality has an "inherent fixed nature"? In fact I've yet to see a workable definition of "reality" which doesn't rely on the some synonym of truth words "truth" or "reality".
Think of it. It exists or it doesn't. If it doesn't, I can't be saying anything about it; therefore, it does. And you can't get any more inherent or fixed than the basic nature of existing.

That's a different point altogether. The mere fact of existance does not mean a thing's "nature" is fixed. That its existance is fixed does not mean its nature never changes. You are merely saying that the fact that a thing is means that the thing is. Nothing more than a tautology.
