To negotiate their own relationship between the two
Does "people tend to negotiate their own relationship between the two" mean "people tend to move freely between these two realms"?
Text:
However, it would be a mistake to think that this world of spectacle and simulation is an autonomous realm. The boundaries between what is real and what is fiction are notoriously permeable and people tend to negotiate their own relationship between the two.

I don't think the writer used "negotiate" in the sense "navigate". I think she used the modern psycho-babble definition that does not appear in the dictionaries yet, with good reason. It is similar to the use in "negotiate a loan", except there is no second party to negotiate with.
