Abstract,concept,action
In this world everything come from some process,Quality of human thinking depends upon type of process from which human thinking is passed earlier.Even process is needed to make a tea,similar is with the human thinking.Human abstract (take something important) the physical world and forms new concepts.Human thinks in class,like word animals displays all animals,abstract is product of perception,concept is product of abstract , action is the display of concept.Concept of evil spirit has no physical existence but human have abstract the body of evil spirit by taking the knife teeths of loin and horns of goat,similarly marrymaid has no physical existence but man has form this concept by abstracting the upper portion of girl and lower portion of fish,similarly every concept formed in a human mind because of abstraction ,abstraction is important element of perception.Every concept has direct and indirect relation with physical world,it means every abstract is real,because perception is real.

Once people accept the principle of abstraction things get better rather quickly:
They go from: "I know what I"m looking at."
to "This is how I see it."
to "What other ways can I see it?"

Samir, this is deep philosophical abstraction!
I understand this as: "Humans think in classes, (like the word animals displays [signifies] all animals.) [An] abstraction is [the] product of perception. [A] concept is [the] product of abstracting. [An] action is the display of concept."
Now, I have delivered back to you how I reconstruct your words. This way the communicator has new information about how effectively they shaped their intended communication. It is as if a student is clarifying instructions delivered by a teacher. Yet, meanings contain many other purposes other than instruction. Clarity of meaning is handy in many situations. Deciding a conclusion about what the motive of the receiver for wanting to clarify meaning from a communicator is an action!
The brain thinks, "Why is being clear about assumptions important right now? There is already a ritual program for interpreting this meaning! Why is my meaning so hard to understand?"
We expect the person to come to an obvious conclusion. We want the receiver to decipher the code correctly and respond how we want them to respond!
People receive a communication of the meaning of words. Words are an abstraction. Words are frozen symbols for meanings.
Once received, the meaning of a string of words are reconstructed inside the receiver to stand for a meaning. This abstracted meaning is supposed to be what the communicator intended. The receiver comes to a conclusion about what to do about the reconstructed meaning. The receiver responds after making the conclusion. Means of how a conclusion was put together is a second thinking operation.
Many meanings are rituals that have context, so reconstruction of meaning is supposed to be "obvious." For instance, the statement, "I am thirsty" if the thirsty person is in a restaurant has a very different meaning, compared to the thirsty person being in a doctor's office.
Active perception is a big part of meaning. There is a part of the brain that receives only images. It does not get language qualifiers about the image. The brain deals with these mental images as if they are real. Imagination allows a rehearsal of the action. Imagination is a vicarious way to experience the future, so we can plan ahead and be prepared.
Crossing a high footbridge and thinking, "I do not want to fall" actively creates the image of "falling." Crossing a high footbridge and thinking, "Balance, foot placement and holding my possessions securely" will result in a very different image.

Words are only sounds ,diction of words are given to them on the basis of one experience and perception,words are also barriers or boxs.One concept can have different logics reaching one place,but by different perceptions different concepts reach different places.Logics or argue are gatekeeper of concept whereas perception is to look.Need is to change perceptions ,because on the basis of perception abstract forms and all abstracts gives some concepts and all concepts have a logic.Different perception modes are as requried for constructive thinking as oxygen is required for life.Abstact makes things obvious and from perception we can change or escape from this type of abstraction.

This is an interesting statement, Samir. Can you talk about it more? Give an example?

One concept can have different logics reaching one place, but by different perceptions different concepts reach different places.
E.g person who looks a newspaper as a Chief editor will be different from the person who looks the same newspaper only for reading,due to different perceptions different logics will be established in mind and different reaction will be observed .It depends upon a person which place he is directing his attention and focusing ,where he pays attentions he oberves some common features and compose a concept,concept becomes like a driving a car but car in case of perception can reach from different roads to same place,it depends upon us where we direct our attention. But by changing perceptions the different roads will go to different places.
A child will see wood with different perception
A woodcutter will see the same wood with different perception
As way of looking the wood is different due to this different logics will be formed and will be in different direction but all of them will be valuable and representing the same wood.
when we use different concepts to solve daily life problems we can oberve that we see different worlds unconciously with the passage of time we get need to change our worlds by changing our perception ,when perception changes logics also changes words also changes,concept also changes.
Patterns arrange themselves according to the perception,in same way logics are esblished,logic vs perception what i think,whereas one mode of perception only leads to one place,other places or worlds will only be visible by changing perception explicitly.
Vehicile-car-bus-motor bike abstracts can be seen from one mode but can also be seen by other modes,but if we will only focus on animals and its child classess then its generally one mode but when we look to Animals then we will see basic character of instinct more dominating in animals,but when we will see both animals and vechicles ,then we have broader perception,new concepts can be derive like under car instead of tyres ,legs of horse should be fitted,even the concept of aeroplane and other inventions also came due to brilliant use of perception.
Different concepts can be design by looking at different things and making realations in them,thinking is a skill,making concept is a skill going beyond the established concept is also a skill.
