They don’t.
I left that open because, as a common mistake on thus forum I don’t even bother to correct, given how impossibly prevalent it is, we don’t Orient in either the Cartesian or Aristotelian Sense, because both senses already superimposed a later mode of mind for how we sense and make sense if the data.
I provide a closed system, just seems to generate, which we interpreted as we must.
If you close your eyes, and poke your eyeball softly, you see light. You see “light”… think about that. Your set up to Orient naturally through that feedback, and you “see” light, even “color”. Light wasn’t involved at all. That is a fully closed off system. By labeling “outside” I make a terrible mistake of assuming a duality on par with the Pythagorean table of opposites (not implicitly stated) is already in progression:
Inside/Outside
Subjective/Objective
That’s not the case, that is a mode of reasoning we go to to explain the phenena of seeing light, but not all we see is caused by light.
An example, I saw a sign on the front door of a shop a few days ago, it said “Spend”, looked at it stunned again upon passing, stepping back, it only said “Open”. My thought when first passing that shop? "Why the fuck would anyone want to shop there? ".
Light was involved, color scheme was correct, font was approximate…but that sign didn’t say spend. But in a sense, it did. A unconscious sense, that thought it as fast as I saw it.
So I just represent it as a closed system, you don’t actually know if it is external or internal data, and the presumption of a sensor can be misleading when it comes to the subject of knowing. It becomes a crude play at scientism after a while. I tried to simplify the OODA Loop as much as possible, so as to better explain competitive feedback loops. You add factors, you add presumptions of later theory of mind that become superimposed upon it, and that’s bad philosophy. This forum, and modern philosophy in general, automatically presumes… I even see debates by atheists of all people here claiming consciousness is external. A lot of Christians would be hesitant to assert that. It should send up a red flair something is wrong, but we live in a dark, stupid, stupid age so whatthefuckever. Blah blah blah, consciousness is external, even though externality can’t exist until a few other Pythagorean dualisms are first triggered…
