How did they explain lanterns and torches in this theory?

On the macroscopic scale, light rays can be replaced with vision rays, and everything works out the same. That's how ray tracing works. People thought eyes were doing ray tracing.

It't not "based on". MacOS is a Unix.

#27I know it probably doesn't relate to the content; but my bs/ai detector sounded the alarm after seeing the abundance of probably midjourney-generated chapter images.
I would say generating chapter thumbnail images for a non artistic publication is probably the best use case for AI.

What do you mean lanterns and torches? On the macroscopic scale, light rays can be replaced with vision rays, and everything works out the same. That's how ray tracing works. People thought eyes were doing ray tracing.
