   Well yes.  In cognitive science it is called the "binding problem".  We 
   sense outside stimulus because we have catagories for them..  We 
   integrate the dots on the television into structures in our brain.
   This is necessary because if it were not, then our retnas would be able 
   to form the perceptions..not to mention television screens..  We agragate 
   multiple events into singular ones and thereby gain basic perceptual 
   structures.  Yet some structures must be built up in levels and hence we 
   cal these "higher order" or "higher level" structures.

   I prefer higher "order structures"

Apologies for my rudeness. 

I don't think the "associative" idea that seems to be under yours is a
complete model of what really happens. I suggest S.Zeki "A vision of
the Brain" Blackwell? 1993
