Percepts is a word I use to describe my writing because for me it conveys the idea that ultimately everything we say and do is a result of our particular place and time, there is no cold hard truth and everything is dictated by context.  That context includes the role that , as observer, also play.

In psychology 'percepts' means the following:

  1. that which is perceived (the conscious experience, not the object of perception)
  2. A perceptual act

In psychology the word perception has many meanings:

  1. the process of knowing objects and objective events by means of the senses
  2. a group of sensations to which meaning is added from past experience
  3. an intervening variable inferred from the organisms ability to discriminate among stimuli
  4. an intuitive awareness of truth or immediate belief about something
