This is why trial and error, action and reaction (feedback)… namely, the “response cycle”… is at the center of perception. Engaging with the world gives our brain a historical record of experiential feedback that sculpts the neural architecture of the brain. That architecture, and the resulting perceptions that ensue, are our reality. In short, our brain is history and little else… a physical manifestation of your past (individually, culturally and evolutionarily) with the capacity to adapt to a new “future past.”
