You’re gonna love learning about optical illusions – bugs in our visual processing. We already see the world through approximation. Obvious example: saccadic masking. Your brain shuts off visual processing during rapid eye movements[1]. You don’t notice the movement, the blur, nor the dropped frames. Brain fills it back in. Another cool one is how we deal with the blind spot in our eyes. Brain fills it in with a continuation of what’s around the blind spot. The area is big enough to hide a whole car or even a large truck at certain angles/distances. That’s why you have to turn your head when driving, just your eyes isn’t enough. You’ll get stuff flying at you out of your blind spot. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking
