Exporterit

Exporterit is a concept that emerged within certain philosophical and theoretical discussions, particularly related to the nature of consciousness and perception. It refers to the idea that when we experience or perceive something, we are not directly accessing an external reality as it exists independently of our minds. Instead, we are interacting with a representation or a mental construct that is generated by our own cognitive processes. This internal representation is what we directly apprehend, and we then infer or assume that it corresponds to an external world.

The term suggests that our experience is "exported" from the external world into our internal mental space, where it is processed and interpreted. This challenges naive realism, the common-sense view that our senses provide a direct and accurate window onto reality. Instead, exporterit implies a more mediated relationship between the mind and the world. Different philosophical positions might elaborate on this concept in various ways, some emphasizing the limitations of our sensory apparatus, others focusing on the role of cognitive biases and prior experiences in shaping our perceptions.

Discussions around exporterit often touch upon questions of epistemology, the theory of knowledge, and the problem of how we can be certain about the existence or nature of things outside of our own consciousness. It highlights the subjective nature of experience and the active role the mind plays in constructing our perceived reality. While not a widely adopted term in mainstream scientific discourse, it represents a line of thought that explores the intricate relationship between internal mental states and external phenomena.
