Why Do I Say ‘Image’ When Discussing Vision? Or - Can We Ever See a Chair in its Totality?

Abstract

1. Our 'vision' of our surroundings is minimal as to the richness of what is out there. That is because our eyes and optical faculties are severely limited in seeing a semblance of that reality. 2. When speaking of 'reality', there are numberless levels of that subject matter. There is the reality of what each organism sees. There is the reality of the different conditions a perceiving person is in, for example, what is the speed the observing agent watching the perceived object and that will change the 'reality' of what they see if we change the speed. 3. In summation there is no unity in any perceived object.
