I didn't enjoy. A strange post at best DavidD.

Hi,
I agreed with Mr David's colors theory.

I found this Nature Review from their Neuroscience arm to be very useful when learning about the neuroscience of color vision. It's not open source, but you should be able to get it from your library.

It might be too in-depth for people, or too specific. It's designed for neuroscience students, I believe.

Hello one and all,

>>> There is Such stupid herringion theory, which saying, <<<
My notes suggest that the OP meant Ewald Hering.
This part of the Forum might get better abled viewers{and hence answers to my questions}and then again maybe not.

"Optics is special relativity strangely enough. Physiology is biology, another study. Perception is psychology. I am concluding that metamerism just fell through the cracks. And I am assuming metamerism arose with the opponent theory of color, the most dominate theory and does not belong with the other two[?2-27-2009?Newton'sColorCircle,TrichromaticTheory]. Perception is a voice of one. Metameric match requires a pair. How did(and exactly should) Newton get lost in all this? I would like to hear and loudly."

"With color as important as it manifestly is in the world economy, why oh why is a metameric match not known to school children who find they have come to school wearing such a pair. I don't know who matches your socks for you Raymond or how color blindness has affected your life. I'll guess that it is different for different color blindness. I vaguely remember ninth grade biology class and looking at the dots for some number. Actually, I am surprised you got in the air force. Be that as it may, there is a connection to Germany and its rise to World War I.

James Burke in his early book has a picture of "Empress Eugénie" with the green developed by the Hoechst Company in a replica print of 1977. I have looked and "empress green" must not be it. Indeed, Eugen Lucius is listed on the company's web page as a co-founder. But the green that did not go blue in gaslight is not named. Is this familiar to anybody? What is this green that launched a thousand yards of green silk and a arms race of chemists?"

NOTES(website unknown at the moment)

2.4 What we seem to observe in mental space is a sphere of information that is viewed from a point with the paradox that the information would also need to be at the point to be viewed. This description can be put in a simple mathematical form. Suppose the observation point is the origin of a co-ordinate system and x, y, z is the position of any bit of information on the inside of a sphere. The separation (h) of the bit of information from the viewing point is given by the three dimensional version of Pythagoras' theorem as:

h2 = x2 + y2 + z2

2.5 In three dimensions the information can only be at the point when x, y, and z are zero; information can either be on the inside of the sphere or jumbled up at a point, it cannot be in both places. Gregory (1966) realised this when he considered the observation of the retinal image and concluded that transferring information from place to place in the brain was an "absurd" way of explaining our conscious experience. The impossibility of a 3D point observation has led to the proposal that the observation cannot exist because it implies some impossible homunculus or "ghost in the machine". In science, however, the observation is paramount, we do observe ourselves viewing things as if they are separate, so the impossibility of a 3D observation proves that our observation is not 3D.

2.6 What is required to describe our actual experience is a geometrical formula where the original positions of the information are preserved but where the projection, h, is zero, in other words a description where the information is projected but also at a point. This can be described by introducing a new co-ordinate (f) at right angles to the other three so that:

(1) 0 = x2 + y2 + z2 - f2

Scientically colours are a band of electromagnetic energy form.
