I mean, if one is up in the sky and another in the groudn, we observe them in relation to height. If one is the to the right and the other tot he left, we observe in width. If one is far beyond and one is right in front, we observe by depth. Then, now I think of it, our spatial perception is very reduced. We think we can see 3d, and percieve it, but really not, we always have the obligation to centre on 1 main dimension, and that is very true. Maybe this can help mkirkpatrik with his idea of mind is all and all is mind...
Or I think you should rather say we percieve it 3D but reduce it to 1 main dimension. Is that what you are saying.
