Why Conscious Perception Is Limited to Forms and Colors: Biological, Philosophical, and Epistemological Foundations

Abstract Human perception is constrained to forms, shapes, and colors—phenomena within the visible spectrum and mediated by neural processing—while the deeper realities of energies and natural forces remain hidden without technological augmentation. This paper explores these limitations through biological constraints, philosophical frameworks (with emphasis on Kantian thought), and cognitive theory. The thesis is supported by contemporary research and classical philosophical sources.
