If one starts with the assumption that matter/energy and its operation exhaust the category then there is not much room left, none actually, to talk about the reality of intangible things such as triangles, holes, and past events.
It also seems careless to me if we just assume that "objective" equals "real," and "subjective" equals "illusion."
It's not so simple.
