Visual Perception.

certainly what we see is not always what actually IS. But there is the issue of SCALE. Scale is there even regardless of what we see.

The videos I have posted are about the geometry of vision, perception and perspective. Can you expand on scale and what effects you think it has on perception and perspective?

What are you trying to prove Alpha? Enlighten us.

Just inquiring into the geometry of visibles.

Consider also eerie examples of when you perceive
movement that is not real. Have you ever noticed
how the moon appears to be moving eerily across the sky
as clouds pass in front of it on a cloudy, windy, eerie night?
A similar effect can occur when you are sitting in a
car at an eerie stoplight and the vehicle next to you starts to
move forward. For a moment you may feel that you
are moving backwards. This is despite the fact that
your vehicle has not actually moved and the adjacent
vehicle is the source of real movement.

Yes the senses are not always reliable. It is much better to test the physical nature of tangible substances.

The laws of perspective are rooted in geometrical optics and not, as widely assumed, in rules and conventions of “realistic looking” painting, nor in the art of delineating 3D objects onto a 2D planar canvas, paper or screen.

What physical laws and facts actually define and determine perspective? Are these real physical laws, or just theories or only conventions? Are they demonstrable or hypothetical? Are the laws actually correct? Are they confirmed in reality by common sense? Are the applications of any such laws, fully understood and correctly practiced?

Alpha I agree, but dont we need our senses to read and interpret the tests? It is a Catch-22.
