Aristotle's model: (Mind) <- (medium of transmission) <- (sensible world)

naive realism: (Mind) <- (world)

As we advance in understanding, we find that the medium is more world: (Mind) <- [ (medium) <- (sensible objects) world] - Is this model more like Aristotle's model, or is it more like the naive realism model?

Bonus model: [(mind) <- (medium) <- (sensible objects) world]
