Do you think reality conforms to mind or mind conforms to reality?

Tough question! Apologies if this is pay-walled, but the conclusion has been rattling around in my head recently. https://academic.oup.com/oep/article-abstract/32/3/353/2360840?redirectedFrom=PDF
In my thesis, I write a lot about language, which I think skews how we interpet and perceive reality. I guess currently I am leaning towards our mind shaping how we see reality, so thath might be "reality conforms to mind."

Do you think there's a universal logical constraint placed on different languages, and such a constraint must be logically prior and necessary for saying anything meaningful, otherwise any sentence in any language would be mere gibberish? Or do you agree with the historicist that "everything is possible", and that interpretation and expression are mere subjective creations?
"One can say, of course, that something can be "a" and "non-a" at the same time, or that "and" means this rather than something else. But one cannot undo the law of contradiction; and one cannot undo the real definition of "and." For simply by virtue of acting with a physical body in physical space we invariably affirm the law of contradiction and invariably display our true constructive knowledge of the meaning of "and" and "or.""
