Perception is not just a copy of some stimuli, we're not just like video cameras, but perception also includes your body's physical state, memories, beliefs, emotions, and attitudes mixed with your senses in real-time. Perception is the result of the mind and body working together which allows you to experience reality in a coherent holistic way.

My definition of the mind is that it emerges from the body as a field, supervening neuronal activity. I describe it as analogous to a "field" in the wave-particle duality of physics, with mental states being like "waves." The mind is a whole greater than the sum of its parts, encompassing aspects such as thought, feeling, qualia, and perception. It is created by the neural activity of the body but has its own distinct characteristics once it emerges. I also believe that the mind flows through the Singularity into Consciousness.

My definition of consciousness is that it is awareness, specifically the input of mind and body information converging into a singular experience. I believe consciousness is not emergent but a fundamental feature of the Soul. Consciousness acts as the input to the Singularity, connecting the realm of awareness with the physical world through the mind and body.

My definition of the Singularity is that it is a portal connecting the physical world with the realm of consciousness and will. In the physical world, this singularity localizes within the body, causing the mind to emerge as a field through and around the body. Will flows into the physical world through the singularity, while information from the mind and body flows into consciousness. I believe this Singularity is the Soul, and it serves as the point of convergence for experience.

If there's no such thing as a Soul, then Consciousness=Perception.
