- The role of interpretation is when you know that something is there, and you look for it until you find it. Also, it gives meaning to what one is experiencing, so basically you turn anything that you encounter into knowledge. The role of interpretation also is when you don't notice something at first, but when you find it, your brain makes it so that you can't not see what you have already seen, kind of like an illusion. The role of interpretation is very important to everything that one notices or encounters and is a key role to many things today.

• • 8. Purpose of structure of reality.

• • 9. Why structures change

- Structures change by a progressive change of thought by a new common knowledge throughout a community or country. Soon, that structure becomes a reality and with new information; a new structure of reality forms. And continuously throughout mankind's survival, structures will change with the gathering of new information.

- Structures can change by many different ways. For example, religion can effect a structure of reality by big religious influences instructing you to do this or to achieve that goal and that can form a new structure. Also, a big political influence like the president can tell you his opinion and a certain number of people will believe that statement and suddenly a new structure has been formed.
