Regard mind's eye as a classification scheme
OpposingArgument
1
#950
The mind's eye need not be interpreted as a location in space. The mind's eye is better thought of as a processor (or visual buffer) that interprets sensory information in a series of stages.
In the process of interpretation, sensory information is classified into conceptual categories the correlated with objects and their properties.
Stephen Kosslyn and James Pomerantz, 1977.

Images are Quasi-pictorial representations☜Images are quasi-pictorial entities with special properties that correspond to those of their correlated physical objects. Images possess structure by virtue of their ties to higher-perceptual processes.☜98CE71

Quasi-pictorial images face an infinite regress
Quasi-pictorial images face an infinite regress ☜Pictures are intrinsically perspectival, so the notion of the quasi-pictorial image makes the assumption of a point of view, or a mind’s eye. As a result, the use of quasi-pictorial images falls into an infinite regress of interpretations.☜EF597B
