Assume that there are se poeple in a room. They all view a red chair. That red chair is the object because they are all having similar models of the outside world. Becsuse they are humans and of similar background theit models are so similar so they can effectivily be seen as the same. They can speak of objects in this model as if they where in a common model. Thus there is where objects roam: in the "illusion" of a shared model.

Assume that there are some people in a room. They all get a perception of a red chair in the room. They have this perception because they have similar model of outside world and have similar human cognitive faculties. Their perceptions are so similar that can practically be taken as the same (but actually they are only similar and not the same). They can speak of objects in this model as if they were in a common model. Thus there is where objects roam: in the illusion of a shared model.


Juma, you have said it! Great. Thank you. I was struggling towards this.
