Default Re: A Revolution in Thought: Part Two

Peacegirl is useing the phrase "out of Range' in reference to vision as a stick to muddy the waters. It seems that she really means 'too far away' or 'out of the line of sight'. Indeed if an object is too far away we will not be able to see it, and if it is out of the line of sight, (say around the corner of a building) we will not be able to see it. Peacegirl seems to claim that afferent vision states that if an object is illuminated the light will somehow find its way to the camera or the eye no matter how far away it is or if some other object is obstructing it. The concept that light travels in a straight line and that it difuses over great distance is simply ignored since that does not enter into efferent vision and she has problems seperating the two concepts. She accepts efferent vision as absolutely true and therefore afferent vision must be contemplated as a variation of efferent vision. Peacegirl seems to be saying that afferent vision claims that if an object is illuminated the light will somehow travel to the eye or camera in spite of distance or obstructions, but this is a property of efferent vision, which is imbedded in Peacegirls brain, and not a property of afferent vision. Afferent vision does not make the claims Peacegirl is proposing, just so that she can disprove it, so it is just a strawman that she is attacking to support her efferent vision.
