There is our perception of reality but also how we make meaning of our perceptions, how we understand.
For example colors that do not exist in the physical reality but are products of our perceptions and our interpretation of those perceptions. "The structure of the system of color categories is shaped by the neurophysiology of color vision, by our color cones and neural circuitry for color. Colors and color categories are not "out there" in the world but are interactional, a nontrivial product of wave length reflactances of objects and lighting conditions on the one hand, and our color cones and neural circuitry on the other. Color concepts and color-based inferences are thus structured by our bodies and brains." https://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/lakoff/lakoff_p4.html |
