Cogito ergo sum: I think therefore I am. The declaration of a person’s consciousness, a subject that’s been dwelled upon as early as Homer in ancient Grecian times. But exhibited across hundreds of pages of his text, is the perceptual surface of thinking. Glimpses in moments, absolute descriptions of scenes, it is only later when depth as an aspect of thinking in ironic terms surfaces through Heraclitus. The lexical means to describe social aspects of human nature. From my perspective I associate this with an authors ability to express internal monologue, to explain the emotional aspect behind each action, not just the explanation of an action in itself. I do not intend to demote the importance of figure and ground. In order for a reader to completely immerse themselves they need to know the visual surroundings to better interpret textual meaning.

A founding difference however, that stands interpretation apart is that cultural difference are influences. A beach is a beach is a beach but a middle finger possibly induces multiple meanings depending on the origin of your reader. There are always restrictions but this article uses the term perceptual boundaries. Whether location or language, perception can retain gaps or misunderstandings. Now that literature has developed through several ages of radical times, there are other more complex structures in writings. The divide between sensory perception and abstract symbolism. The tool authors will use to convey emotion through the sentimentality of an object all depends like many aspects of communication on culture. It’s broad but a simple concept to grasp, different memories, learning style and different communicative skills influence your perspective on the world. Perception can be used as a notorious skill, for example as American’s for counterfactual purposes although certain facts are objective.

But to gain a perspective you need to complete moments in your life, procedural knowledge, what I interpreted as explaining physical aspects of how one finishes a task, an American mental formation, but other countries like Germany use declarative knowledge, consisting of describing the world. Both however I find are equally important and engaging while reading, also incomplete if a document had one and not the other.
