Just the Sun, Until It Passed Through Us: A Perceptual-Plasma Framework for Color-Intensity Remapping and Collective Reality Interfaces

This manuscript converts a three-image sunlight/glass observation and the accompanying phrase "Just the Sun, Until It Passed Through Us" into an evidence-first research archive. The defensible claim is not that color remapping physically rewrites the universe; rather, physical light is transformed by media and sensors, perception is transformed by color and context, and shared interpretation can reshape collective human reality through coordinated attention, narrative, and action. "Perceptual plasma" is treated as a metaphorical, mathematically tractable model of perception and shared meaning, not as ionized matter or a new physical theory.
