Human perception is the awareness that there's more than what you see to what you can imagine. It's the recognition that the parallel tracks that get closer and closer on the horizon could get closer and closer than your eyes could discern, that they might never touch as the distances between them approach zero. It's thinking of what happens at infinity, which you cannot imagine, while imagining the track continue beyond what you can see.
To perceive as a human is to take what you can see as the occasion to imagine more still because of your being drawn to what is beyond imagining.
To perceive is to take the world as a sign of the infinite.
A symbol is something we can see, taken as a sign of what we can imagine, taken as stretching toward that which is beyond imagining.
