What if the world you experience is already filtered, edited, compressed, and subtly rewritten before you ever reflect on it?
Volume 2: Perceptual and Cognitive Illusions explores the distortions that arise not from ideology or belief, but from perception itself. Across eight tightly structured chapters, this volume examines how attention fails, how time warps, how agency is misattributed, how imagination blends with memory, and how self-perception quietly reshapes reality.
From change blindness and temporal distortions to illusions of control, imagined experiences, creativity constraints, spotlight effects, deception dynamics, and interpretive overreach, this book maps the hidden mechanics of how experience is constructed, and misconstrued.
Rather than treating perception as passive and reliable, this volume reveals it as selective, interpretive, and deeply fallible. It shows how meaning is projected, agency is inferred, narratives are imposed, and coherence is manufactured, exploring them through first person, cognitive order, bias or illusion forming phenomenological stanzas.
Systematic and analytical, Volume 2 expands the taxonomy of illusion into the perceptual and phenomenological layers of the mind: where reality is not merely observed, but actively assembled.
