I had a blue/yellow color blind student who was color blind due to a car accident to report that he saw the color blue when I used a particular spinning shape for a subjective color machine. The report was instant. He remember the color from his childhood. It had been nine years since he had lost his color vision. He thanked me for allowing him to see the color blue again. He reported that the blue was a dark rich blue, which is what I see. I think it is important to recognize that blue is not necessarily the same blue experience for another observer. I believe that blue is congruent with blue for another observer. The psychological power may however be different. For example, a person could be classically conditioned to like blue. Another person could be classically conditioned to hate blue. While both can agree they are seeing blue, the experience would be different. Using the concepts of oscillons, self organizing principles, and emergent properties to represent how the brain mixes information I believe provides insight into the cognitive processes. This mixing is a type of fuzzy logic of interference patterns. This mixing can yield unexpected results, because stimulus elements that congruent would be additive and stimulus elements that are not congruent would be substractive for the final experience. I believe the goal is to form a global intergration (one) and know at the same time the elements (many) and then step back and see the figure/background as a trichotomy. Consciousness modulates then back and forth between these three elements, but each time it forms a dichotomy which are reverseable. Ron Blue
