Composition

se (raw perception) + to (conceptual pattern) — a concept grounded in direct sensory experience. Head-final: to (concept) is head; se specifies the epistemic origin as perceptual.

Definition

perceptual insight; vision; a conceptual pattern that arrives through direct perception rather than reasoning or inference.

Notes

Distinct from si-to (information-concept = signal-derived knowledge) and to alone (pattern/concept, origin unspecified). se-to is a concept that arrives through the perceptual channel: a flash of direct understanding, a vision, a gestalt. WATCH: does se-to cover both ordinary perceptual insight and prophetic/mystic reception? If the Tonesu setting requires the distinction, se-ne-to (perception-relation-concept = conceptual reception through a link to an external source) is the candidate. Do not split until corpus shows conflict.
