Why do we perceive Logarithmic Quantities Linearly? I forgot the name of this phenomena but am interested in more content having to do with it.

Most of the time units are regularized so that the X axis is the logarithm of whatever is of interest, as most of the time exponentials are used in many fieds, like chemistry and physics.

Because counting then counting count, then counting count counting, then counting count counting count counting, then.... is logarithmically linear.
And spatially spacing space spatially spacing is too.

There was something I saw where logarithmic quantities we perceive as linear. I don't exactly know why this is. If we don't know why this is at all, then I would love to be redirected to some examples.

An example I can say for instance is the decibels and Intensity being a Logarithmic-Lineae type of relationship, in which what we perceive as a linear increment of volume is actually a logarithmic change in intensity.

I want to see other stuff like this. Sadly this board is full of such stupid people. Even /g/ is more intelligent.

An example with the Cochlea.
Sounds are percieved in a logarithmic scale whereas the cillia cells are evenly (linearly) implemented.
