RE: Foundational Axioms of Truth: Existence and Consciousness
Yet color exists as a universal grouping order construct to reference an understanding about what exists: colors.
I get the idea you're talking about submodalities, ala NLP.
I know of NLP, but not the term submodalities. This is philosophical metaphysics. Aristotle spoke about it long ago :)
Submodalities are the "dimensions" if you will of sensory perception. They're the individual qualities that we can perceive within a sense. For example, some of the visual submodalities are: color, motion, location, focus, etc.
These are in turn a part of what NLP calls our representational system, which represents ideas and knowledge.
Any correlation?
Yeah, similar, but for example focus is based on the perceiver, while color is there regardless of someone perceiving, motion too, etc. Color, motion, location, are accidental properties. They exist in the categories of being as possible to exist in substances, but don't exist in themselves.
In other words, the perceiver must have color vision in order to see color? :)
Well that's true... but what I'm saying is that focus is not a quality in the thing your looking at. Color, motion, location are qualities of the other things, and of perception like you say. I was just making the distinction about how some things are similar, but one is a model of perceiving what exists, while the other is about what exists, what is perceived.
Ergo, as stated, focus is a quality of the object.
Getting past the language above, what's the point of the distinction you're making? How is it useful?
No, focus is a quality of your eyes, not the object you're looking at lol.
So is color lol
