Itself "as is".

No. They are discrete, still frames, but when I play 30 of them per second it seems like a continuous series of events to you.

Each frame inverts to a new frame, with each frame being a descriptive assertion of time and space.

Things existed long before symbols. Using symbols/abstraction is what makes us different to everything else that exists.

False, both things and symbols are mediated by the premise they are images. All reality as one image directed to another is symbolic by nature.

Yeah. No. I'll kick you in the balls - you tell me that's an "assumption" on the phenomenon of "pleasant experience.

I assume, am imprinted by, the sensation and project a response accordingly.
To assume is to be imprinted by.
