The mind projection fallacy is an informal fallacy that occurs when a person believes in factual claims (as distinguished from facts) solely based on mental or sensory experiences, which are often interpreted as objective properties. That is, someone's subjective judgments are "projected" to be inherent properties of an object, rather than being related to personal perception. One consequence is that others may be assumed to share the same perception, or that they are irrational or misinformed if they do not. The idea has been compared to Plato's allegory of the cave.
