Document Summary
A philosophical position arguing that there is a real world to sense. A philosophical position arguing that all we really have to go on is the evidence of the senses, the world may be nothing more than an elaborate hallucination. Do geometry of retinal images of the world is decidedly non-euclidean. we construct the world from two non-euclidean inputs: the two distinct retinal images. Advantages to having two eyeballs: you can lose one night and still be able to see, they enable you to see more of the world. our visual field is limited to about 190 from left to right, 110 of which is covered by both eyes; 60 up in the center of the gays and 80 down. binocular visual fields just a better chance to spot small, fast-moving objects. Combination of signals from each eye in ways that make performance on many tasks better with both sides with either i alone.
