Well, the obvious answer is choice.

Ideally, one gets to choose whether or not to have their door open, whether it's locked or unlocked, whether they wear a bikini or burqa. They have control over configuration and the transmission of the signal, but not necessarily the propagation or reception. Those things can never be controlled, without causing instability.

That makes sense. If I wear blue pants, you are automatically seeing them because the photons I emit strike your retina. But in principle you would be free to intercept those photons and replace them with something of your own choosing

Exactly. And when considering the subjectivity of our individual realities, an example such as the qualia of colour (as you allude to there), whether we choose to override it before it enters our perception, or whether our perception or not, our perception may well be altered from any other individual, wheter we like it or not. And that space is sacred imo. It's territory that only we can understand.

Exactly. And when considering the subjectivity of our individual realities, an example such as the qualia of colour (as you allude to there): whether we choose to override it before it enters our perceptual field, it will eventually enter that field. And that field will very likely be a separate reality to any other's perception. And that space is sacred imo. It's territory that only we can understand.
