The physical world, of course, right? But then we start asking, what is the physical world (and moreover, what is a mental representation?), and so on and so forth, everything begins to seem very... strange... and murky. It's like we want to take definitions and divide them more and more until we come to the primal substance, and every direction from which we approach the task seems to leave us with less and less of any definite something.
