1754 PERCEIVING and REALIZING OBJECTS

1754 PERCEIVING and REALIZING OBJECTSGautam Shah

Perception of objects becomes a complex process, because it is mixed up with the manner of realizations. Realizations in the form of recollections, also offer the many details, about how the object was perceived. Conditions of perception include, the sense, duration, environment, positional relationship.

Realizations, among other conditions, are based on own exposures, with subtle or frugal details, tenuous experiences, through documented narratives, and from trace-less anecdotes. Such recollections seem to be individual ‘frames or shots’ of images that are disarrayed. Realizations, occur in the context of current circumstances, without reliable chronological trace-back. The perception of objects is perhaps arrayed as per our subconscious expectations.

Perception of objects is two fold process, like, the perceiver to object and object to object. Both, are affected by the environmental conditions, forming many unequal sets of relationships. The inequality arises from the personal relevance of the objects, the interim distances, perceiver capacity of perception, intervention of objects and conditions that overlay the perception.

Not all perceptions are similar. Like Vision and Sound have a scaling definition. Taste and Smell are closely located, and so occur nearly simultaneously, Listening has dual and spaced nodes, offering sense of direction, the Tactile sense is spread across the body and is multi-sensual (temperature, texture, pain, warmth-cold). There are few compensatory mechanisms that overcome deficiencies of some of the sensory nodes.
