Charts

The above chart depicts the evolution of perception (from left to right) by way of evolving perceptual schemas. The pink disks are meant to to represent these schemas (or lenses) which arise one by one to produce the world. This happens in two stages, first the physical forms evolve and then (once the human form is reached and through that physical form) the cultural world evolves. First schemas (laws) evolve to produce the impression of the physical world phenomenally, and simultaneously the biological forms emerge (which also act as schemas). Once the human form evolves, cultural schemas arise mentally to produce the cultural world.

The point of this chart is to make clear the basic cause of the distinction between shared qualities of experience like size and number, and private qualities of experience like personal judgments. 

In the European Enlightenment, two main types of qualities were recognized called primary and secondary qualities. Thinking about this distinction, it occurred to me that there are in fact three kinds of qualities: There are qualities like number that are fully shared by all observers and not relative. There are those that are similar, but not fully identical, for each observer like color. And there are qualities that are entirely relative and depend on the individual's point of view. This chart shows that the underlying cause of this tripartite distinction is the point in the process that these qualities supervene, relative to the increasing rise of individuality. 

Chart of the evolution of perception giving rise to substance. Recapitulated in this image is the evolution from unified but not selfaware infinite intelligence to full self-aware human experience. This occurs through the rise of first physical and then cultural perceptual schemata (ways of seeing) in the imagination of the infinite intelligence. These images show which qualities these schemata in turn give rise to in the percept, and at what juncture in this evolution of perception these creations occur. Depicted directly below - imagination creates, and then sees through, unique ways of seeing, represented here as pieces of glass. Each new schema adds complexity to the percept and simultaneously increases self-awareness in the percipient. Thus not only is the world explained in this way, but also consciousness (understood here in its sense as self-awareness). Source: Digital collection of the artist
