The Curved Qualities of the Gift of Set: Active Perspectives
Key to your perception is your perspective. Where you are located in the Universe and the ways you interpret what you are experiencing in the Universe are unique yet partial.

Constraints: Cognitive, Affective, and Conative
One of the better models of the mind, likely with fairly ancient roots, separates it into three dimensions: cognitive, affective, and conative. The cognitive covers the linguistic and symbolic modes of thought. The affective deals with emotion and feeling. The conative deals with action and activities.
