Was anyone else kept up all night by simultaneous contrast? I dreamed that our visual system *could* work in a way where we know that the two gray swatches are identical-on-the-retina, while also making inferences about their relative reflectances and illuminations. But instead, I woke up to the reality that our internal percept is that the color-on-the-retina is different. Does that bother anyone else?

How “natural,” as he says, would it be?
