To be honest, the focus on "aliens" is pretty tedious at the best of times. But take that out of the equation, and there are still unexplained phenomena. That's why Keel and Vallee are so great. They don't fall into the trap of SF cliche.
Ex. when a red dot is registered on your retina, it doesn't tell you anything about itself, to say otherwise it's just the myth of categorial given (Sellars). You need to have the concept of red to plug that new sensation in. For X to be read, it means it's not white or blue.

Yes but these sets of relations cannot be put inside an absolute container (welt). they are the welt. there must occur a sensory-register for them to even produce a shade-concept. so, when you require a new organ, the milieu changes into something witing to become-world.

No welt is just the set of the transcendental conditions you have, at the top of which is language. To embark on world making requires something more than just new organs. Sensory registers are just Aristotelian tode-ti (this sucres, stuff).
