⇑Definitions and quotes

Interaction
Interaction is a kind of action that occur as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction, as opposed to a one-way causal effect. A closely related term is interconnectivity, which deals with the interactions of interactions within systems: combinations of many simple interactions can lead to surprising emergent phenomena. Interaction has different tailored meanings in various sciences. Changes can also involve interaction.
Perception
Perception (from the Latin perceptio) is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information, or the environment.
Perception
Everything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you.
Douglas Adams, in Mostly Harmless (Chapter 9)
Perception
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Kahlil Gibran, as quoted in Visualizing Categorical Data (2000) by Michael Friendly, Ch. 3.5 Sieve Diagrams, p. 85
Perception
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, A Memorable Fancy, (1790–1793).
