What is the difference between perceptual influence, and coincidences?

Are they not the same. Is not one dependent on the other? How do we coordinate with reality if we cant coordinate with it and that means thinking of the best way to insert ourselves in what coincidental situations. Do we not try to make ourselves coincide with reality by coordinating the many different contradictions we encounter coinciding right along with us. As we see reality coinciding with our efforts at coordination with them, we take advantage of this by actively inserting ourselves somehow and that means coordination with what coincides in reality?

The items (and more) that represent "perceptual influences" on the map http://www.mindmapart.com/perceptual-influence-min... are not perceptions at all. A perception is the neurological point of the brain, and the neurological moment of the mind, when a sensory input becomes consciously recognized.

Perceptions are "givens", that is, they are "Whatever is immediately present to the mind before it has been elaborated by inference, interpretation or construction." http://www.ditext.com/runes/g.html

Once it has been "elaborated" it becomes either an abstraction, or a concept.

A coincidence is two or more things happening that seem to be tied in someway--but they are not, or that make them something other than coincidences.

And "influences" are influences. Perceptions cannot be conceptual influences; but a conception taken from a perception can be an influence.
