The Dual Nature of Perception

This report explores the duality of perception as a fundamental framework for understanding reality, bridging geometric, physical, and ontological structures. Building on prior work that establishes information as the foundation of reality, we extend this concept to propose that perception itself follows an informational hierarchy, corresponding to increasing levels of complexity in how reality is structured and experienced. We examine three levels of informational structure: 1. Metaphysical – The relationship between point and extension, following the ideas of Heydar Jemal, who argued that geometry holds an inherent mystical structure. 2. Physical – The relationship between information and matter, addressing how matter emerges from structured information rather than existing as a primary entity. 3. Ontological – The relationship between the Subject and Reality, suggesting that perception is not merely a passive act but an active structuring force that defines reality itself. By demonstrating that subjective and objective reality are intrinsically linked, this report lays the groundwork for an integrated model of perception, merging rational and sensory understanding with the latest insights from quantum physics and information theory. The conclusions challenge traditional materialist and dualist ontologies, arguing for a new paradigm where reality is shaped by the informational structuring of perception itself.
