Proprioception and Outer Perception

Closing one's eyes helps reveal Proprioception as a substratum of all Experience.  Re-opening them shows how easily Outer Perception can conceal that dimension.  Alternatively, retaining the perspective of  the substratum while re-opening one's eyes, shows how Vision can be incorporated into Proprioception, such that a presumed 'outer' object, e. g. a color, can be construed as an inner datum.  However, rather than confirming, for example, a Lockeian theory of Secondary Qualities, the alternative, more conclusively, demonstrates that all Experience is constituted by the compresence of  Proprioception and Outer Perception, to varying degrees of relative emphasis, with the suppression of the former by the latter the most common combination.
