The Colour Perception Theory
-
Equation For Determination Of Color Perception Theory.
Factors:
X=Baseline for testing
A=Subject one
B=Subject two
W=Way of comparing both subjects
I=Result—difference or no difference in perception
X+W distributed to (A+B)= I
This is my formula for testing Color Perception.
Color Perception can only be tested theoretically in the above format. There has to be a baseline for testing it! And a way to distribute that baseline to the two subjects, and a way to receive a legitimate diagnosis of the difference/no difference. The baseline could be anything, but we have no modern baseline for the test! We cannot create a way to distribute the baseline test without having the baseline too! Those two are things that cannot be currently created/distributed. The two subjects are any living beings, and the result can only be gathered once all are combined!
Basically, until major scientific breakthroughs occur, this will be untestable. There is no tangible of theoretical idea that can possibly act as a Baseline for this Theory. It just can't be done YET. Remember people lime Christopher Columbus? He searched for something impossible at the time, only describable in legends. Such is a way to test this theory, I'm not saying it will be discovered in either of our lifetimes, but it may some day be created, or in his case, found. :) -

That's be great if we were all taught colours differently. Then we'd be disagreeing left and right and would have known already. If one factor to test is let's say shade, then there is no baseline either. Black could be completely different in my view than what is known for you. The test you have made only tests the disagreement of the two. We all agreed the test on this forum is "black", but we don't know what you, I, Simon, or anyone else in the world is seeing.
EDIT: The only possible way we in the IRC said to test this would be through technology. Taking electronic eyes and implanting them in order to set it to one person's shade. So yes it's possible, but not yet. -
But how would you then be able to differentiate the results? :) how would you "set" it to a specific shade? If your perception of the baseline shade is different from the test subjects the results become invalid. You need a baseline(baseline=color shade different from test subjects I think) to fully validate the test results. You are not stupid, you are just overlooking how the testing will be thoroughly conducted.
I believe the electronic eyes in a way would be a baseline, but then how would you be able to set them to a certain shade, and if you could set them, then you would need a way of decoding it in a way everyone could understand without color sort of. -

But you're also over looking the thing we are trying to prove. We are trying to prove if colours are different from person to person. The electronic eye method is a slight problem but in a 100 years it's MIGHT be possible. Simple exchanging the eye with something else to send signals to the brain won;t work, but by modifying the brains thinking it would be possible. If we had one person set it to what they say is yellow, the client end or implanted person will see what they set and would prove the theory. It's forcing them to see what another persons sets as their colours. "Setting" means using light waves and electronic signals to show a colour in the administrator's view. They change it until they see what they perceive as "yellow".
EDIT: Setting it would be through electronic signals. The brain sees this as vision when it processes the particles going into the eye. It would take a lot of testing, but would have some scientific impact. -
I "see", haha jokes on me with that one, but wouldn't you still need a way to universally transmit the same signal ti both people?
Equation For Determination Of Color Perception Theory.
Factors:
X=Baseline for testing=electronic eyes
A=Subject one
B=Subject two
W=Way of comparing both subjects=transmitting same signal via electronic eyes
I=Result—difference or no difference in perception
X+W distributed to (A+B)= I
This is my formula for testing Color Perception, with modification for Lockheedmartins eyes theory.
Edit:I OK electronic signals for transmission, got it :) -

Exactly using the modification of the electronic eye would be able to prove the difference. You would only need to transmit to one person on the receiving end because the administrator end is a set pattern. If they see it different than what they had before the implant then we'd know. -
@Lockheedmartin, thanks for explaining to me your idea, I was lost for a little while. It makes alot mores sense. When I began to try to explain this, I knew future technology was the only answer to the question. In a way my equation was still right, just in a very vauge way.

Would not most of the differences in color perception be in that of the brain rather than the eyes, excluding situations in which the cells in the retina are defective or damaged in some way. I also can't see there being much difference between a reconstructed image (from the brain of a viewer) and the original image.So long as we agree on the names we've assigned to colors, I don't see how the difference in color perception between different people is likely to be useful. I'm far more interested in what other frequencies of light outside of the visible spectrum look like with electronic eyes.

he is saying, that you may see blue, and know its blue... but others may see it, and it will actually look different, but they still know it as blue, so they know no difference... so they think its the same, so people could be RGB colour blind without knowing it
