If the object is within the range of the camera's lens, then that means that the light necessary to take a photograph is already present at the film, so the photograph is not dated. The same holds true for the eye. If the object is within the range of the eye's lens, then that means that the light necessary to see the object in real time (not dated time) is already at the retina. Explaining efferent vision in terms of the afferent model is not going to work because it will be inconsistent. I still maintain that we see in the present because light is not transduced into signals that are then interpreted by the brain. |
That doesn't answer the question. And I'm not asking you to explain anything in terms of the afferent model. I know the light is already present at the camera at the moment the photograph is taken. I am asking you about where this light came from
before that point in time. Let me slightly rephrase to make this clear:
