To have the binary is like forming a building with nice well-defined rooms. You also need the substructure, the architecture, the walls that support the building. I can give you an example. Below is a Venn diagram. All those nice categories in the compartments. But how did it get to be so tidy? Well you can notice the boundaries. They are integral to the diagram.

Perception can be defined as everything happening inside that Black Box, everything between that stimulus and response, and the more neurally endowed the creature, the more the perceptual processing involved.
