Excellent article

I am impressed you understand the relationship between perception and external reality. Most people cannot comprehend the concepts you discuss, as is evident from many of the comments above.

The only part of the article I would change is the 'visual spectrum' (from hyperphysics) diagram. Instead of labelling the cones as red, blue and green, I would simply label them as 1, 2 and 3. Plus I would remove the colour shading underneath each frequency response graph. The cones simply respond to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.

I too, would love a glimpse of the 'noisy' true reality :) I installed an app 'Architecture of Radio' that is very interesting in this regard - I'm not associated with the author in any way, but I think you'll appreciate its significance.

Could you please let me know if you have any further insights on this topic,

Warm regards,

Jonathon.
