There’s no correct perception, only useful perception.
The interpretation of sensory input - perception - is a process that generates concepts in a given context. Elements of context that influence perception include:
Perception is imagination primed with sensory input. Too little imagination and no useful concept or abstraction emerges. Too much imagination and the concepts are no longer relevant to the surrounding environment. In both cases, the consequence is the failure to take on actions that benefit the mind’s body.
