These might be grounded on a scientific approach where we validated our hypothesis of an experiment and or assumptions about human’s beliefs. Here I had proposed an Assumptions Theory which explains the principles involved http://suifaijohnmak.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/theory-of-assumption-the-a-theory-of-learning/ Would that explain why we all might have different perspectives and views, even though we are presented with the same “artifacts” and “facts” for discourse?
What are the “logical” steps fo the ladder? Would we have assumed those steps to be based on experiments or intuition? May be there are universal principles in arriving to the conclusion, based on certain assumptions. What are the assumptions about re-thinking thinking here?

The first step of the ladder doesn’t exist. The information we see is heavly dependent on our assumptions.

We see in our minds eye objects that are at the corner of our eyes in color. Our eyes can’t perceive the color at the at the rand of our field of vision.
The color we see depends on our assumptions about the color of the thing.
