FIGURE 5.

Representation of the experiences a photodiode (left) and human (right) would have to a orange‐yellow light, turned on with a pull chain. The photodiode can only detect the presence of light, whereas the human, with a broader possibility space, has more capacity. The binary space for the photodiode registers only on versus off. The more elaborate space for the human, encompassing brain networks that link inputs, captures light, and that it is a orange‐yellow light and registers the click from the chain. The broad possibility for the human also captures other features of the light, embedded in the space of other possibilities that did not happen.
