Perception Mode

Attention leaves the immediate world and follows meaning step after step, with no natural stopping point. Nothing taken in is set down, so whatever is explored is also carried, in the body as much as in the mind. This is the perception that keeps a question open long after others have closed it.

Perception sweeps the whole field and releases it once the shape is clear. Detail folds into the general picture and nothing lingers long enough to weigh. Its natural work is the overview, the forecast and the bold first draft.

The present is met head-on and taken whole in one grasp. What happens registers at once and leaves a lasting imprint, and conduct is as plain as perception, with little use for pretense. Its field is the situation that needs a decision now.

The tangible world is taken step by step, each thing placed in its rank and sequence. Routine carries no weight here, so long ordered work inside large structures comes easily, and material comfort and a proper standing are the plain goals. Administration and the smooth running of established systems are its home ground.
