Localized perception is what you see directly around you, drawing conclusions and building associations from the incomplete sensory data coming through your five-sense reality. Systems perception or systems thinking is about understanding intersecting processes and chain reactions. Unfortunately, such thinking does not come naturally to us. We tend to see the world as a façade, perpetuating illusions of reality. In fact, I would argue that this perceptual flaw is at the root of most all superstitions and false theories of the past.
