GEOMETRY, SPACE, AND THE 550 NANOMETER REFERENCE ON THE RETINAL SURFACE
November 26th, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In this explanation, the EXACT MIDPOINT of the visible band at 550 nanometers is spatially defined on the retinal surface by a geometrical rule .SIMPLE GEOMETRY IS STRUCTURALLY RELATED TO, AND PRECISELY DEFINES, THE WAVELENGTH OF LIGHT.
This region on the retina is the point where sufficient rods are present to completely surround individual cones in an octagonal symmetry. This point is at 7-8 degrees of retinal eccentricity (degrees from the foveal center).
What this means:
a.) Geometrical space and the electromagnetic wavelength of light are related in a biological system to produce an effect – color vision!.
b.) The exact middle of the visual band at 550 nanometers is defined for use as a wavelength reference for subsequent color processing. This provides the basis for the prescient finding of Edwin Land over fifty years ago!
“…we have learned that the eye must have a fantastic mechanism for finding a balance point within a band of wavelengths” Edwin Land
c.) It provides the basis for the first understanding of the color constancy of vision.
d.) It is the fundamental reason why we all see colors the same way! To quote Einstein again: “..all is geometry”.
