In this research, I propose that the interpretation of visual perception can be analyzed from a logical division of three major levels of interpretation. Each level presents fundamental distinctions regarding the origin and impact of interpretation in the formation of visual experience. The first level, of mandatory and interspecific interpretation, determines the basic separation between the real world and the visually perceived world. This level is based on the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the observer, working as an initial interpretative filter. The second level considers the cultural and social influences of the observer, based on the premise that the subject sees the world as they learn and experience it. This level will have at least six major axes: social, emotional, sensorial, related to command, reward, punishment, and level of perceptual ambiguity. Finally, the third level of interpretation involves theorization in the perceptual process. This third level is subdivided into three categories of interpretation: (i) directly observable elements, (ii) observable with the aid of magnifying instruments, and (iii) unobservable elements.
