When perceiving objects, people are under the illusion that they are constantly obtaining the latest information. Since we perceive substances existing in the same space, we rarely doubt that we are sharing the same time with other states. However, in reality, when we perceive other existences, although the difference is so slight that it cannot be felt, there is a temporal difference between both parties. The perceiver (self) replaces the past information of other existences with the current state through perception, creating the illusion that the object exists on the same timeline. The perceiver, including the self perceived by others, is covered by multiple layers of filters to obtain the latest information about itself. Everything we perceive is covered by multiple layers of filters. These filters prevent us from perceiving anything but the past information of objects. By collecting past information and predicting the latest information, we construct the object perceived in front of us. I want to know what the latest information held by the object in front of me is.
