Predictive processing explains perception centered on prediction. Hierarchical perceptual system creates top-down predication about the external world. The approach is a strong computational theory that links perception with action and attention. The paper studies the relationship between predictive processing and direct perception. Perception is direct if the object of perception is a mind-independent object in the external world. There are various viewpoints concerning the relationship. But three general interpretations could be discriminated. According to the first interpretation, the object of perception is the best prediction. The second interpretation declares perception as causal inference, in which the external object is a hidden cause and there is always a possibility of error in the perceptual causal chain. The third interpretation indicates that predictive processing provides openness of the world for the subject. The paper argues that the first interpretation is erroneous and the second could not lead to indirectness. By confirming the third interpretation, it could be uttered that perception via predictive processing directs toward the world, not that the theory constitutes a barrier for the encounter.
