our perceptions in practice aren’t infinite—far from it, in fact. They are a mere minuscule subset of what is objectively possible. Why? Because of our assumptions, which come from experience. These experience-driven biases define and limit the synaptic pathways through which our thoughts and behaviors come into being. Hence, the relationship between a stimulus (input) and its resulting neural pattern (output) that is a perception is constrained by the network architecture of your brain.
