A simpler way of stating this, perhaps, is that as we all move through our daily existence, and our lives as a whole, we never really know what it is we are "responding" to, what we are enfolded within, what we are participating with. Our conscious domain seeks the simplest possible explanation (how a sentence or a "thought" of a few words or more can satisfy us sometimes that "now" we understand!) for everything we encounter...Occam's razor seems to determine all our overt responses to the environment we function in. But in truth, how complicated, intricate, and precise are even the simplest processes of life that we can identify. And how complicated, intricate and IMprecise are the smallest, simplest "objects" we can "identify" as well. Bland, @amazed(as always)andrambling.com

Bland...I believe we DO register and respond to the stuff outside our defined perceptual ranges. That's what we call intuition or a hunch or even clairvoyance. We don't have ready explanations for it, but for instance there have been studies on circadian rhythm that showed people responding to the presence of light shined on the back of their knees...rather than seeing it through the eye. That's just one example that comes to mind that shows we are actually much more "perceptive" than we know consciously. :-)
