    Challenges→Objects of visual perception are intersubjectively accessible, meaning they can in principle be perceived by multiple subjects.

    If perceptual objects are strictly mind-dependent, then the 'same' object perceived by A and B are numerically distinct idea-collections with no mind-independent referent to share.

    Key Terms

    idea-collections(as used in idealism (the view that reality is mind-dependent))
    Groups of thoughts, sensations, or mental images bundled together—the philosophical view that objects are just collections of ideas in minds.
    mind-dependent(metaphysics)
    A thing is mind-dependent in the metaphysical sense when it somehow owes its existence to minds — not merely that it would not have existed if minds had not existed (which would make tables and chairs mind-dependent)
    mind-independent referent(metaphysics/philosophy of language)
    A real thing that exists in the world on its own, separate from what anyone thinks or believes about it; the actual object a word points to.
    numerically distinct(Used to characterize the parts of the Form that must exist separately in each participant)
    Being distinct in the sense of being different individual tokens, not merely different in kind or quality.
