The 2026 ARVO Pocket Guide AD will feature the following:

CHALLENGING experimental vision researchers and experimentalists to prove or disprove - The Human Holographic Visual System’s CLAIMS:

Eyes produce fully coherent light (spatial coherent & temporal coherent).
Retinas produce interference patterns of object light & reference light.
Photoreceptors inject object light photons into the visual system.
ipRGC receptors inject reference light photons into the visual system.
Optic Chiasm & LGN align streaming identical interference patterns for 3-D.
Cortical columns assemble images/scenes with background & horizon in 4-D
Blobs replicate the environment’s ambient light (sunlight, moonlight, etc.).
Primary visual cortex creates in real-time a continuous & dynamic nano-scale (mini) replica of the outside environment/world inside the brain in 4-D.

The mini replica of the outside world inside the brain sets the stage for the production of a continuous stream of visual situational awareness in 4-D at light speed and ready for interpretation. --- Learn more and how buy the book - The Human Holographic Visual System - at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Bookshop.

Photoreceptors Inject Object Light Waves into the Visual System

Robert Reyes — Sat, 7 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Important note: This post is a discussion of one of the claims (claim in title) made in my book The Human Holographic Visual System. To learn more of how the retina and other components of the visual system function, read my book. It is available in hardback, paperback, and e-book formats at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Bookshop.

Because the light waves are nanoscale in size, the visual system processes described here are architecturally structured to operate at the nanoscale.

The light waves of the interference patterns leave Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and flow through the layers of the retina on the outside of the neurons in the layers. When the light waves each the photoreceptors, the incoming light waves trigger the photoreceptors to flood the cell membrane with more positive sodium ions producing a metastable state for the cell membrane, especially the discs of the outer segment, with most of their molecules having their electrons energized.

Of the different types of opsin molecules available, the human visual system uses opsin1 for the rod and cone photoreceptors and further differentiates the opsin1 for the different receptors:

Opsin1 rhodopsin for rod photoreceptors,
Opsin1 OPN1SW for blue cone photoreceptors,
Opsin1 OPN1MW for green cone photoreceptors, and
Opsin1 OPN1LW for red cone photoreceptors.

At the same time as the discs are being energized, the Opsin1 molecules with their 11-cis-retinal molecules in their pockets are capturing incoming light waves from the interference patterns.

Retinas Produce Fully Coherent Interference Patterns

Robert Reyes — Fri, 6 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

When light waves enter the retinas, they encounter different layers of the retina. The second layer they encounter is the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) and this layer has axons that are layered perpendicular to the flow of the light waves. The axons are extremely tiny and are packed closely together but are spaced enough to create nanoscale grooves and slits. Because there are millions of axons, there are millions of the nanoscale slits and grooves which act as diffraction gratings. The diffraction gratings facilitate the process of angular dispersion which causes the separation of visible light into its component wavelengths. This is what produces fully coherent light waves.

Also, the process of angular dispersion causes light waves to spread out which eventually causes the light waves to interfere with each other, creating constructive interference and destructive interference. It is the mixture of constructive interference and destructive interference that produces fully coherent interference patterns for each separated wavelength the retina produces.

So, the retinas produce fully coherent interference patterns for the red wavelength, the green wavelength, and the blue wavelength for the cone photoreceptors. Also, the retinas produce fully coherent interference patterns for the neutral-color wavelength for the rod photoreceptors.

As light waves of the interference patterns continue through the layers of the retinas, they encounter a fourth layer. This layer is the Inner Plexiform Layer (IPL) where the dendrites of the ipRGCs exist. The dendrites of the ipRGCs capture the fully coherent ambient light waves of the interference patterns. These fully coherent ambient light waves of the interference patterns are the reference light source for the visual system.

Following the light waves as they go through the different layers, the light waves go through four more layers of the retina before striking the photoreceptors where they exist in the Photoreceptor Layer (PL). The fully coherent object light waves of the interference patterns are captured by the photoreceptors in this layer.

The coherent red light waves are captured by the red cone photoreceptors.
The coherent green light waves are captured by the green cone photoreceptors.
The coherent blue light waves are captured by the blue cone photoreceptors.
The coherent neutral-color light waves are captured by the neutral-color rod photoreceptors.

The fully coherent object light waves of the interference patterns are the object light source for the visual system.

An object light source and a reference light source are required for a holographic system to function.

The mini replica of the outside world inside the brain sets the stage for the production of a continuous stream of visual situational awareness in 4-D at light speed and ready for interpretation.

Visual situational awareness is a prerequisite for normal life and is required for survival. Visual situational awareness means to visually recognizing patterns, movements, formations, diagnosing, and reacting to dynamic and changing environments.

Instantaneous visual situational awareness is required in deadly situations:
- Mortal combat, 100-300 ms reaction warriors need to threatening visual stimuli.
- Fighter jet combat, 150-250 ms reaction pilots need to radar or visual threats.
Instantaneous visual situational awareness in common situations:
- Vehicle drivers in big city rush hour traffic.
- Competitive sports of all ages such as basketball, soccer, football, etc.

Eyes Produce Fully Coherent Light Waves

Robert Reyes — Sun, 1 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Holography requires fully coherent light waves to function. To be fully coherent, light waves must be spatially coherent and temporally coherent. The eyes produce fully coherent light waves in two steps.

1st step: As the light waves enter the eyes, the irises/lenses of the eyes act as an adjustable pinhole apertures that produce spatially coherent visible light waves. Inside the eye, the spatially coherent visible light waves strike the retinas.
2nd step: In the second layer of the retinas, the light waves strike the retinal nerve fiber layer that acts as a transmissive diffraction grating device separating the spatially coherent visible light into its component wavelengths.
