But that does not work at all here:
Quote:
Sight takes place for the first time when a sufficient accumulation
of sense experience such as hearing, taste, touch, and smell — these
are doorways in — awakens the brain so that the child can look
through them at what exists around him. He then desires to see the
source of the experience by focusing his eyes, as binoculars.

He then desires to see the source of his experience by looking, as binoculars? Clearly this is not the case: he is referring to some process or action of focusing. And it cannot be focusing as in optics: light does not have anything to do with how an image is formed, except for being required somehow.
We see the same thing again here:
Quote:
The brain records various sounds, tastes,
touches and smells in relation to the objects from which these
experiences are derived, and then looks through the eyes to see these
things that have become familiar as a result of the relation. This
desire is an electric current which turns on or focuses the eyes to see
that which exists

Focusing is something that happens to eyes, apparently. It is some process. But it is not the process of shifting the focal point of a lens to redirect light in order to create an image, which is our normal understanding of the word.
Now considering that the mechanism by which efferent sight supposedly works is not discussed, and your father only seems to have known
that it existed, not how it worked or what it consisted of, what is this focusing?
