Moving on, there are certain cognitive faculties that are present in all individuals. I would like to mention some of them, as to push the reader to take them into account. For they are usually abstracted into a general understanding of the individual, and not consciously pondered upon at an individual level. Some of these cognitive faculties are:

• The liquid understanding of reality that is crystallized and enclosed temporarily, in this case through a written medium.
• Perception of reality, which could be described as the intellectual organ responsible of tainting my experience of the world.

I argue of a difference between perspective and understanding, in the sense that understanding is something I hold to be true (objects), whether consciously or unconsciously, and perspective is focused on the rendering process of the understanding (process). They are intertwined and their difference is elusive for me. Objects and process are also reductionist in their current usage, as understanding and perspective each also might also encapsulate process and objects in their capacity.

• Prior experiences and “intellectual processes”.

The complexity of learning is birthed differently by any given individual. Where we each have our own personal way of using our sensory, intellectual, and spiritual faculties to bring about novel understanding/perspectives. I recognize myself as an uneducated mind, that is heavily influenced by “any” readings on most universally discussed subjects, given the novelty that most texts hold for me. Uneducated in an academic sense, as this is predominantly an egocentric discussion tinged at times with a lack of humility that must be acknowledged and kept in check (at very least).

• The capacity to ponder, reason, and act upon a given subject, which could be understood as general intelligence and an abstraction of the aforementioned cognitive faculties.

There are several aspects that come to mind that help understand who I am isolation, fracture, recovery, fragility, and creativity. They are central in my current understanding of myself, and intersectional.
