>>14244954No because what you call real vision is actually very much like a very complex hallucination which models the world well for our needs. For example, when you "see" a room around you you are actually imagining a complex patchwork of memories from the last time you payed attention to a particular part of the room and reasonable assumptions of what is there. When you "see' something in front of you, you are imagining a representation, a model, based on what you are literally seeing, and all your memories about things that looked similar as well as genetic templates.
So I'm not sure that a shitty representation (ex: shiny spots on skin make you imagine butterflies) requires any more energy than a good one (realizing that the shiny spots are simply direct light reflecting off greasy skin). In fact I would guess that correct vision/interpretation requires more energy than glitchy one.
Tldr: everything you see is a hallucination, functional vision is merely a hallucination that models reality better.
