In the future of 2019, an Actual is a person who has not been wiped/imprinted, and therefore retains their original personality. This distinguishes them from "butchers" and "dumbshows", who greatly outnumber them, as well as persons like Iris who have been imprinted with the personalities of others for unknown reasons.
