JUDGMENT & PERCEPTION

(THEORY)
Our awareness remains continuous, not static,
because of this never-resolving tension among
antagonistic processes. Were this tension to resolve,
the algorithm of consciousness would cease but by
remaining unresolved, the psyche is in a continual
challenge between data absorption and processing.
The psyche aims to resolve all incoming information
by categorizing each component, but it fails to achieve
this due to the endless stream of data entering the
psyche. However, it is equally dependent on this
datas introduction in order to operate as it would
have no purpose without perceived information to
discriminate between. The psyche can no more cease
to perceive as it can cease to process even if the
operation is taking place outside of conscious
awareness.

2. PERCEPTION & JUDGMENT

This oscillation wheel between data absorption and

processing is what C.G. Jung termed Perception and

Judgment; however the definition herein will contain a

few peculiarities not mentioned in Jungs definition.
The role of Perception in the psyche is the synthesis
of information.
Data synthesis is the automatic population and
correlation of information into the psyche absent of
any conscious scrutiny of the data. There are two
types of perceptive data; incoming and pre-existing,
and synthesis is the process of associating the
incoming data to the pre-existing the specifics of
this process will be explained further in the next
chapter.
As rightly defined by C.G.Jung, Perception is an
irrational process, though not necessarily because the
connections it makes are linked improperly, but
because the links are formed incidentally, not through
rational deduction. Associations made by the
perception processes are made on the basis of shared
attributes data is connected so long as it relates to
other data, independent of any rational justification for
the association within parameters of laws or axioms.
Thus anomalies/contradictions in logic as well as
ethics will exist in perception and go unchecked for as
long as the data is not critiqued with a judgment
process. Perception processes draw associations,
while the judgment processes break associations that
cause contradictions according to the judgment
process criteria of measure. The process of
discrimination, also known as Judgment, is the
deliberate arrangement of incoming data into
harmony; it is the recognition and elimination of
contradiction be it logically or ethically.
