1. The impulses sent by our senses to the brain, from the object that they have perceived, are converted by our nervous system into an image, and it is this image that we see in our mind.
2. Our shared ethos of living ascribes different meanings and uses to that object which our senses have perceived, and our own undertanding and appreciation of that object changes accordingly.
3. Thus, even the physical reality is subject to interpretation by our paradigm, which selects and filters the world and literally chooses the way we see what we see.
