That is an analogy not an abstraction but if you had read the paper or the single quote I provided, you would know that even relatively simple eyes (such as those of the frogs which cannot see still objects) don't only process a distribution of light intensity and frequency. The eye measures other information that is lost by the camera including photon phase, arrival time, polarization, orbital angular momentum, linear momentum, and probably many more measurements. More so, this is done by specialized organelles of the eye rather than by the brain.

It's great that eyes can detect polarization and orbital momentum. My point is that none of that info is needed to drive a car.

That's true, but the main point is that current software still relies on sampling. Eyes don't sample.

[pdxww]

And this is irrelevant also, because we can introduce sampling the way I described and can continue driving just fine.

I've thought about it and yes this does make sense.
