The phenomenon is the manifestation of the past - how we perceive it - interpret it - and how much of it we perceive, is also determined in the past, through trial and error - natural selection.
Each mistake a death...but today mistakes are protected if they do not challenge the provider.
The modern maya is the word detached from the act - the noumenon referring not to a phenomenon but back to another noumenon.
