So what could play a role in this spatial segmentation? Could a theorized “boundary” in the projection be part of the heuristic? If we think about a conic projection “bisecting” the hemispheric circle, we can get a sense of all “viable” energy being within the interior of the circle, and all […]

Here we could suggest that there is a more or less “continuous” lamina-like form between the pictorial space frustum and the segmented forms “further away”. But what happens if we tweak one of the segmented regions? Here I’ve swapped one of the segmented […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

When we consider the segmentation along z of vision, we can perhaps begin to see how such boundaries might exist, and in doing so, perhaps we can arrive at a model to predict them. Think of a pictorial depiction that includes a segmentation along z of a “green […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

And let’s remember… even though Burns was thinking along chromatic adaptation reasoning, the same ideas would apply for a “first indirect bounce” of illuminating energy. That “boundary” has always been fascinating to me. Surely no such “boundary” in our vision systems could exist? I’m not so […]

Scott basically constructed spectral energy quantities that match the colourimetric coordinates of a given “adapting” illuminant, and multiplied the results. The intriguing part is the way the projections deform to the classical locus projection. In the […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

The question that might emerge is why bother with this sort of a projection at all? The intriguing part is to realize that all multiplicative / subtractive interactions can be thought of as a projection of a conic circle through the hyperbolic (Riemann) sphere. The original realization for me […]

This is where I believe stereographic projection could help us. There are some eerie similarities here to Apelle lines and what not as well, I might add. Here, we can think of the additive components of attenuating excitation purity as existing in the upper […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

If we focus on the idea that both additive and multiplicative (“subtractive”) effects can lead to a similar projection of Chevreul’s idea, we can begin to see why Euclidean geometry betrays our understanding. How can low energy *and* low excitation purity exist at the opposite end of a […]

Given the experiments of Ditchburn, Riggs, Yarbus, and the rest who pulled off absolutely fixated energy fields, and the fact that our vision dissolves into a filled in nothingness, it makes me wonder about the essence of colour cognition itself. Is colour nothing more than difference?

Kind of interesting that if we start with a visible spectral smattering quantity of energy called `S`, the sole way to have a probability of inducing a cognition of colour is to shift *away* from that `S`. If we abide by energy conservation, it is implicit that the energy decrements. This […]

Likewise, we could pose a less illuminant-centric framing of “illuminating a shape”. Is the important part the “illuminant” here, or is it the cognitive construction of the shape? And enmeshed among many shapes, do we pay attention to *all* of the “illuminants”, or does cognitive segmentation of […]

If we as primates don’t have any auxiliary sensorium to “derive” an awareness of “an illuminant”, it at least seems precarious to base entire theories of vision on such. As a counterpoint, imagine looking outward through a lamina of some particular “colour”. This too is arguably *precisely* the […]

For starters, “Illuminant” is a bit of an ill defined idea. Relative to us, the primate, we don’t really seem to have the agency to derive any notion of “illumination origin” specifically. Further, given that every single thing we can see *is an emission*, all shapes in space are “illuminating”! […]

We tend to see “illuminant” all too often in our discussions around “colour”, and it seems to get in the way of broader understanding. I believe it was Monge who suggested the idea behind “colour constancy” as being “illuminant” related. Whoever gets the origin credit, it is problematic as […]
