    On Why Space is Dark - 2
    This is a more detailed version of the original. I argue that Space appears dark, because perceives 'look through' it to the dark Void - the region beyond Space. The Void, as in the black box experiment, emits no electromagnetic rays back to perceivers.

    On Why Space is Always Black
    I read recently that the space between stars is black. I was aware of that, but gave it no thought. This essay is my explanation why--there are no walls in space.

    This is a broad summary of my thinking on EM rays and their role in visual perception. It focuses mainly on ambient space and the ramifications of that.

    On Perception and Light
    In this paper I argue that interest in light was, and is, an ongoing area of interest in the philosophy of visual perception. I then argue that 'light' is not a real entity, and that light rays are opaque. It should follow that the philosophy of direct perception of real objects is not sound.

    On Consciousness
    This essay positions consciousness in the content field--also known as the visual field; it is an initial essay, providing a general overview of my thinking on this problem.

    Photons and Perception
    This short paper will argue that light waves are a barrier to visual knowledge of the objective world: that light is not transparent, in that it is a block on all possible knowledge of real objects, and that the objective world is permanently closed to the eye of the observer. (This is a shorter version of my original paper of this title.)
