Subjective reality

The idea that people perceive different colors for the same wavelength of light is not new. But this idea can be taken much further, asking the question: why do we experience nature as we do at all? What I perceive as flying might be the same thing as walking for you. For me, I could see you as walking when, for you, you're flying.


To better understand the nature of this, I will bring up the idea that there has to be something in common between these two people for them to perceive each other, like how the wavelength is the common factor between the two people. This idea was brought to my attention by the Discord user "the_willing_protagonist," which then, for me, opened up a whole new can of ideas.


So then, what do we have in common other than reality for us to perceive each other? Well, we have awareness, but we are individuals, which means whatever connects us must be a layer below awareness and must be the same thing as what allows us to see our own realities.


And I believe this is the quantifying factor. To explain it better, I have included a link to a mind map, but essentially the idea is that the ideas of perception and interaction are separate things. All interactions and perceptions exist on the same layer as other perceptions and interactions. So we are connected by the act of perception rather than the perception of things themselves.


So what all of us have in common is that the act of perceiving things is the same for us all. The way we see things is what gets affected by our interactions, not what each other see directly. Why? That is the big question.


Indeed there is no way to really understand this. But now we have put a difference in between the quantified, the unquantified, and the quantification "process".The nature of quantization is that we affect it and we are connected by it. This is assuming we all see a completely different reality from each other. Now if we were to assume a reality where we only get small changes rather than indescribably different ones then we can draw in an external set of rules that governs it all.


So it goes, awareness to quantification to quantified reality to quantified perception. And here our interactions directly affect the quantified reality rather than the quantification process, and this quantified reality now changed, making each other perceive this change.


So here the quantification process would only matter as to how reality is quantified rather than how we quantify it. Since all we do is quantify it in perception, but with the underlying laws still applied, the underlying laws need to be explained as to where they came from.


So reality and mind here would be separate, and the quantification of the 2 things would be separate. Giving a different way for the mind to perceive some things in reality and giving reality the ability to be anything just as long as it's something.


Crude example: imagine you're playing minecraft, but you all experience competely alien worlds, then someone moved a block from 0,0,1 to 0,0,2. But you don't see a block move, for you there is no block, there is no coordinated and there is no "moving". But something changed. So what changed? By moving a block that the way you percieve the world was changed, which then led to a change in your perception, not the otherway around. meaning interaction doesn't change the perception but the act of perception it self.


This is not idealism however, since in idealism your perception is canged just like in physicalism.
