These building blocks are used by the brain so as to filter out “noise” that occurs naturally on the retina. [1]
And it gets even weirder.
For a selection of woodland images, the researchers showed that the distributions of light and dark patches have just the same kinds of statistical behaviours as a theoretical model of a two-dimensional magnet near its critical temperature.
Trees are intermingled in a forest constituting One.
But we see all of them.
It is like the whole world is in a “critical balance”, in a constant state of change as Heracletus postulated. And in this chaos, we are still able to “see” – only because we are also a part of this chaos. Only a tree can see other trees. And none of them knows that they are in a Forest…
