Cartesian Vision
A woodcut from Descartes 1644 'Principles of Philosophy' shows a theory of optics & the interaction with the Pineal Gland.
Believing light rays impressed particles into the eyes, the programmed image then transferred to the Pineal [the nexus b/w mind & body].

In this sketch,
The external stimulus [like artificial images manufactured for the Screen],
Embeds an intention by pointing/directing your sight; and
Becomes an Act of will by the pineal gland.
Does this image remind you of anything?

Cartesian Coordinates ~Descartes~
Foundation of analytic geometry that specifies each point on a plane.
Each line is an axis, & where they meet is it origin. This creates quadrants; moving from the upper right, counterclockwise.

They are the most common coordinate system used in 3D Computer Graphic Imagery (CGI), motion sensors & facial recognition.

Guilloche patterns [highly repetitive, precise and visually absorbing] are engraved on underlying materials using a ROSE lathe.
These patterns are used on Bank notes to prevent counterfeiting or *FAKE* money; and
are plotted using Cartesian or Polar coordinates.

"The Study of the Wonderful" by Ronald S Fishman MD in 2008 quotes the following:
"Nature tells us one secret in terms of another, & she may refuse to disclose one secret until another has been laid bare" ~T S Kuhn~

The linkage between Descartes and Johannes Kepler is not widely appreciated however it is an excellent example of scientific synergy.
From defining the orbit of Mars as an elliptical in 1603, Kepler set to study the refraction of light in the eye.

He took what was only a vague idea; that the retina was the true photo-receptor, & established the 1st convincing idea of a retinal image.
Gone was the idea that the lens was an essential element of vision.
It is essentially the 'internal looking glass' of the retina.

“Thus vision is brought about by a picture of the thing seen being formed on the concave surface of the retina.
That to the right outside, is depicted on the left on the retina,
that to the left on the right,
that above below,
& that below above.”

"For by the laws of optics, what's said about this hidden motion, which ... takes place through opaque & hence dark parts & is brought about by spirits that differ in every respect from the humours of the eye & other transparent things"...
Our Reality can be Easily Distorted
Kepler's work implied the retinal image was a inner geometrical mirror of the outside world.
Yet, the image was only 2D, therefore not a true replica.
Descartes marries physiology of sensation & the key to the brain.

Descartes was not one to attribute his scientific peers.
He "created a problem for historians by generally omitting any references to his sources".
We obtain, by result, explanations that appear new on one hand, yet familiar & predictable on the other.

How much of Keplers work is distorted?
"Kepler's influence on Descartes was too significant to remain so widely unappreciated, & Descartes' brain was a revolutionary idea.
