erception is the process of attaining awareness and understanding of sensory information. There is no rigid meaning to anything. What is perceived is the interpretation of sensations informed by their relationships to past experience. Thus, cultural conditioning considerably influences perception. Humans are incapable of processing unfamiliar information without injecting the inherent bias of prior knowledge. In addition, as any sensation can give rise to multiple percepts, it is also possible that a specific sensation can fail to elicit any percept.
“It is utterly beyond our power to measure the changes of things by time. Quite the contrary, time is an abstraction at which we arrive by means of the changes of things.” - Ernst Mach
