model
Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena is used to describe reality itself as things-in-themselves and perception as the translation of that reality into things as they appear to us.
model
He presents Kant as teaching that humans never know the noumenon directly because time and space are filters through which reality becomes phenomena.
model
Using Kant, Jiang argues that controlling experience and memory can control perceived reality, because people only know phenomena and cannot directly know the thing-in-itself.

definition
Kant's model is summarized as active filtering: humans cannot know the noumenal thing-in-itself, only the phenomenal world produced by mental filters such as space and time.
model
Jiang uses Kant to argue that humans do not access objective reality directly; they transform noumena into phenomena through perception, time, space, and imagination.
