I see facts as perceptions in most circumstances. I haven't probably thought it out as much as I would like but alas what have I? I do agree with that comment about the model.. I have no idea who it was but it reminds me of Derrida for some reason. See I think that is where we may differ in opinion. I see facts as perceptions in most circumstances.

But..."facts about a perception can be gained from analysis"? I don't think so, no :) But even if you can at least approach fact through analysis, that is not all you can do. You can also expose the causes of the differences between fact and perception. Perhaps you would not class this as "analysis", but you can also use your theories about the transformation from fact into perception as a theoretical framework for predicting perceptions of an altered set of facts. You will be wrong, of course...who was it who said: "All models are wrong; some models are useful"? Now THAT is a book I’m looking forward to reading, Dr Houghton!
