Yes, that is what efferent means. From the brain, OUT. If there are no structures that allow the brain to look out, then there can be no efferent vision..
How the brain is able to look out through the eyes, as a window, doesn't necessarily have to be identified in a localized area of the brain. Efferent means from the brain out, but the way David put it, it seems like magic. That's only because the mechanism hasn't been clearly established, but neither has the mechanism behind conscience. That doesn't mean we can't observe how it works.
You mean like the way we observe it to work with the moons of Jupiter, which shows that we see light afferently in delayed time? That way?
