""Apperception (from the Latin, ad-: "to, toward" and percipere: "to perceive, gain, secure, learn, or feel") is any of several aspects of perception and consciousness in such fields as psychology, philosophy and epistemology.
In psychology, apperception is "the process by which new experience is assimilated to and transformed by the residuum of past experience of an individual to form a new whole." In short, it is to perceive new experience in relation to past experience. The term is found in the early psychologies of Herbert Spencer, Hermann Lotze, and Wilhelm Wundt. It originally means passing the threshold into consciousness, i.e., to perceive. But the percept is changed when reaching consciousness due to the contextual presence of the other stuff already there, thus it is not perceived but apperceived.
The term originates with Descartes in the form of the word apercevoir in his book Traité des passions. Leibniz introduced the concept of apperception into the more technical philosophical tradition, in his work Principes de la nature fondés en raison et de la grâce; although he used the word practically in the sense of the modern attention, by which an object is apprehended as "not-self" and yet in relation to the self.
In epistemology, apperception is "the introspective or reflective apprehension by the mind of its own inner states.""
From wikipedia
We perceive the material nature of time (becoming) and we apperceive its ideal or subjective nature (mnemonic illusion). In this apperception they distinguish past, present and future that make the apparent timeline (direction), and differentiate also (by intuition) time units with their multiples and submultiples.
In watches we perceive a becoming of periodic uniform rhythm that later we apperceive as time units.
Physics describes the becoming (movements), Psychology describes the perception and illusions and Philochrony describes the becoming-time duality.
