When a visual stimulus registers a high Visual Resonance Factor ($\nu$), it often correlates with a TO greater than unity (i.e., $100\%$ overshoot). This suggests that the brain perceives the necessary input slightly before the light physically contacts the retina, possibly due to the pre-cognitive processing load im…
