44. The relationship between perception and physics
In the EC/HE theory perception is the focal point’s experience of relations that appear through the Experience Circle. Perception is therefore not passive registration of an already existing outer world, but the local experience of how relational differences are manifested as qualia.
What is experienced as sight, sound, smell, touch, pain and physical reality arises when reorganisations in KNOWING appear as experience through FOCUS. Perception describes how these relations are experienced from a particular perspective. Physics describes the same relations as they appear as manifest structure.
Perception and physics therefore do not describe two separate realities, but the same relational event seen from each side of the horizon between KNOWING and manifest experience.
Physics describes how relational stabilisations appear through light, fields, molecules, sense organs and nervous systems. Perception describes how the same stabilisation is experienced as qualia and meaning from the focal point’s perspective. What in materialism is understood as an outer causal chain that produces experience is therefore understood in the EC/HE theory as the manifestation of understandings and relations in KNOWING.
The manifest world therefore does not appear as an objective outer scene that consciousness subsequently registers. It appears as the focal point’s continuous experience of relations manifested through the Experience Circle.
