Our ability to understand the intricacies of our thoughts, surroundings, and actions is intrinsically linked to the functioning of our perceptual systems. These systems, starting from linguistic frameworks to sensory modalities and cognitive processes, serve as the means through which we interpret and express the richness of human experience.

Representational systems, at their core, encapsulate the cognitive architectures that enable us to encode, store, and retrieve information, utilizing language, sensory modalities, and cognitive processes like memory and imagination to navigate the complexities of our subjective reality. As we explore these intricate frameworks, we discover the diverse ways in which they contribute to the construction of our perceptions, providing a nuanced understanding of how we distinguish and communicate the distinctions within our inner and outer worlds.
