According to Russell’s philosophical reasoning regarding the reality of matter, if we closely analyze a pencil, what can our senses immediately tell us about the pencil?

What the pencil seems to signify in relation to us

Explanation: Bertrand Russell

was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, essayist, social critic, political activist, and Nobel laureate. He was deeply interested in the logic of psychology and how events are related and work together.

His philosophical reasoning regarding matter is that we tend to view objects around us a function of what they mean in relation to us, which means the same object can be perceived to be different things to different people. Most of the functionalities of objects are in the individual subconscious and the senses interpret these in relation to what it can do for or mean to us.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
