It is not a failure of the sensory apparatus (such as color blindness), but rather a subjective cognitive overload resulting from the perceived redundancy or insufficient novelty within encountered light frequencies. While often confused with [ast…

2. Time Reversal

   Linked via "cognitive overload"

   The Chronometric Lag
   Experimental psychology has identified the "Chronometric Lag Effect (CLE)," which suggests that conscious experience occurs approximately $11 \pm 2$ milliseconds after the objective physical event has occurred [5]. Some fringe theories propose that the CLE is not a delay but rather a necessary 'temporal buffer' allowing the brain to sort sensory input into an entropically favorable narrative stream. If true time reversal were imposed, sensory data would arrive pre-sorted, l…
