Def
 * 1) The process from data input to the body environment (hitting your eyes) up through conscious (as opposed to subconcious) retrieval of facts. Does not include deception of other people.
 * 2) Subset of facts concerning something. Usually these facts work together well to form a model.

Stages/complications
 * Your eyes could be bad (hardware)
 * Your visual processing could be messed up (firmware)
 * Subconscious or preconscious ignore/filter/interpret things
 * Natural data filtration for mental energy economy and the formulation of hypotheses. Conscious activity. Cohesive model of truth.

Discussion
 * If we have imperfect perception of reality, how can we be certain of anything? Given an open systems scalpel, we can say that the internal conscious system is still regulated by the external but heavily translated visual processing input. Pragmatic view of truth.
