What Organisms See

Intelligence has the conscious realm and the unconscious realm.

The reasoning ability that we usually think of as "high" intelligence is in the conscious realm.

However, it is unconscious intelligence that interprets this world. Unconsciousness is constantly monitoring the state of the body in the environment, and is responsible for interpreting the obtained information and passing it onto consciousness. *

That's the difference between the human eye's "seeing" and the camera lenses’ "viewing."

The camera lens gets information on all the pixels, but the human eye unconsciously selects the necessary information according to the human body and abilities, and then transforms and delivers it to consciousness.

*: In other words, the world we are actually seeing, in fact, is the world interpreted by unconsciousness. Consciousness cannot catch all the symbols which come from human sensory organs. In unconsciousness, various analog signals are converted into symbols, and we understand the world surrounding it and the present.
