The observer now shapes what it sees.
Projection is the act of casting internal models outward. It is not merely perception — it is creation through expectation. The observer begins to shape the observed through lenses of bias, culture, memory, and imagination.
At this layer, perception becomes participatory. Reality is filtered, edited, and tinted by the observer's inner landscape. The cosmos becomes a mirror to the mind.
In this view, the universe is no longer neutral. Each observer sees a different version — filtered, shaped, designed by their own being. Truth now floats within a sea of perspectives.
