It is our minds we are discussing, and not the minds of the

Largely okay by me. But not by Michael who flatly asserts: "the
quality resides in the object."
What is it that we perceive? Undifferentiated raw material? a whole
bunch of substance? Or do we project objectness from our interior
thinking?
No. Objects are already differentiated in nature, and our sensory
organs are able to perceive them, to distinguish one from the other,
and parts within individual objects.
Or is all of nature "out there" just a large field of quantum activity
that we sort into elements, molecules, and objects?
