Objective reality.

Two or more people seeing the "same" thing.

Human blood is red. You could have any word which means or equals the word red. 4109 could means a certain color of red or just red.
After explaining to someone what color 4109 is, that person can select things which are not 4109 and things which are 4109. This demonstrates an objective reality. And not only can human do this but animals can do this- and if one did not have a objective reality, you wouldn't have plants or animals having colors, smells, or making meaningful sounds.

Or actually, if there was not an objective reality, life could simply not survive- or at least not the way it does in a very fundamental sense- this doesn't have to do with being sentient creatures, microbes require an objective reality.
