Introduction to Representational Perception

The representational perception exists either in the level of internal representations of objects that do not have a physical manifestation in the environment, or in the level of representations in relation to the objects that do have physical manifestation in the environment. If one for example sits on some lane and perceives the scenery opening in front of him or her, what he or she actually perceives is are the contents of the representational perception rather than a scene that is context free from information.

What this means is that although representations of objects that do have physical manifestation in the environment at the same time they are perceived, the content such as colors are in fact only associated type of information to the representations of the objects, as are for example sounds. When one hears another one speaking, instead of hearing only the sound waves, he or she automatically hears them as words if the sub-conscious has been taught to interpret those patterns of sounds as the words that are then heard, and so it is also in case of everything in the semantic content of the representational perception. There just aren't any content free objects in the representational perception, because it can have only the information given by the sub-conscious brain functions and what it is able to receive through receptors.

In case of environment not having enough semantic, explicit or implicit information for it to be recognized, after semantization and identifying the phenomenon, the conscious valuations done in relations to it are automatically added to its content, increasing the complexity and is afterwards recognized having also the content given to it. The fact that we are for example able to perceive combined dots, circles, curves and lines as words and them, when combined with other words as sentences speak of the recognition of information even before they enter to our consciousness. The fact that we are able to recognize familiar faces having immediate responds to them speaks of the existence of a representational perception we are constantly connected to through the perceptive abilities and the sub-conscious brain functions related to it.

Now, the representational reality and the cognitive representations are composed of combined smaller entities that as combined patterns produce the representations as they are. These representations can again be combined together in relativity with category and each representation can be considered as an outlined and recognized phenomenon. Thus, every valuation concerning any phenomenon or already existing representation is an act of changing its value-relative content via changing the combinatory whole in the phenomenon relative lower-level entities and thereafter the content perceived in the representational perception. One therefore alters the reality one is surrounded with, since the sense of reality is constructed of representation in the level of the conscious mind. This act of altering the content of the representational reality can be of automatically generated content in the sub-conscious or of conscious perception and the valuation related to it, producing both, conscious and unconscious levels to the increasing complexity of the sense of reality, as it alters the interpretational level that produces the representations to consciousness. And as semantizations are made in relations to the complexity one perceives in the representations projected to the internal representational perception, when consciously perceiving and analyzing them, their internal, given and existing complexity can be recognized and after that, recombined by altering the combination in the lower-level entities, producing relatively different entity in the higher-level of the scope.
