The Empirical Confirmation of Objective RealityThrough Subjective Experience
There is a subject, an object, and a light source. Light from the source is reflected off the object and hits the subject's eye stimulating nerves which transmits signal to the brain, the brain interprets the signals and constructs a mental image of the object. The mental image is the result of brain structures determined by past experience and genetics, themselves the result of generations upon generations of past experience in trial and error at creating more and more accurate and useful mental images of the world around us. A similar process occurs with the other senses adding to and refining our mental representations of the external objective world.
