There is, of course, a topological congruence between the world of physics and the world of experience. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter 11, Sentence #194)

Perception is a quite complicated business, involving the playing of energies on the sensors, and the transduction of these energies into an interpreted visual world. All we are in physical contact with, of course, is the energy applied to the sensors. These physical energies are quite different from the "human world" of our experience, replete with color, sound and light. There is, of course, a topological congruence between the world of physics and the world of experience. Evolution has selected for such a congruence. Our experiential world, though quite unlike the world of physics, is well coordinated with it. If it were not we could not move our physical bodies conveniently among physical objects, manage to put our hands on things we wished to touch, and so on. - (Tribesmen of Gor)
