I would say that we see objects and text the same because of the wiring in the brain, but interpret them differently because of the learning in the brain. I young child would see a computer screen, the same as anyone, and would say "what dis," until he/she learned to categorize it as a computer screen.

I don't believe in an objective reality, but in a subjective inheritance of reality based in the subconscious, or DNA if you prefer.
