Can human perception build a mathematical geometry of color?
In short: Color is often treated as a subjective experience, but it may possess an underlying geometric structure. This video explores whether we can construct a formal geometry based entirely on how our brains perceive the visible spectrum.
The video investigates the fundamental nature of color, moving beyond simple aesthetics to ask if colors form a specific geometry. It explores the possibility of building this framework from human perception rather than just physical properties.
By examining the relationship between different hues, the presentation seeks to determine if there is a consistent mathematical logic to how we distinguish and categorize the world around us.
