We can make a model of the mental entity of our mind as perception is to our eyeball as a mind is to our brain
A model of all the parts of our brain containing all the components parts to 'perception'.
All bodies contain a function to other bodies.

Our brain has a phenomena of rationality. And our eyeball contains a phenomena of perception. Neither of these properties, rationality or I and perception, can be measured directly from their own body but from their effects on the environment or another body.
The same effects from the environment are perceived differently from different parts of the body and for other bodies. Perception is internal to the eye as the mind is internal to the brain.
The mind is composed in a brain and perception is composed in an eyeball. An eyeball does not say say it is composed of a brain unless we are calling our brain an eyeball. Unless we are saying one part of the body is doing the function for another part of the body.
Perception is composed through its ability to handle light stimulus directly from the environment, the black id of our environment.
The model of our brain, as an eyeball
Perception is composes of three parts
- Pupil, the black center of the eye that receives too much light in the environment
- Iris, dilates or contracts the eye to increase or decrease the amount of light from a depth of field.
- Retina, the screen that composes the light from the pupil and iris
The pupil is the id, the iris the ego, and the retina is the superego.
The eye itself has the phenomena of perception which is as rationality is to the brain. As the id and ego are parts to the superego. All the component parts of a body produce a function for another part of the body.

Our mind has thee characteristic, id, ego, and superego. Also, en-capsulized as a horse and rider.
The id and ego are our two horses and the chariot is the container for our superego, or soul.
The horses, the id and ego, and the rider, the superego, each ride in their collective vehicle.
Our rider, the superego, has a part in the horse's environment from his chariot, the id and ego of his horses. And his part in his chariot, the superego, to connect his chariots wheels firmly in the environment that connect his stimulus to his body.
The mind has a function that can be put to arbitrary ethical ends, completing the body in its environment to support the functions for everyone.
The Chariot Allegory from Phaedrus
Plato first presents the image of the chariot, a composite figure: a charioteer, two winged horses -- a noble white and an ignoble dark one. This composite he explicitly calls a model of the human soul or psyche. The individual components of the model are not described in much detail, but since Plato considers the same tri-partite structure of the soul in the Republic, written about the same time, we have a good idea as to his meaning (Lovibond, 1993).
As Plato's model naturally invites comparison with Freud's well-known id/ego/superego system, that is a convenient reference point. Plato, however, through myth, is able to express both rational and extra-rational knowledge. In the end one is left with the distinct impression that Plato's is the better model.
