_Vision_ is an illusion.  We construct what we see in our brains.  
What's really out there is collections of organized and disorganized 
atoms and molecules all quivering and some making progress in a 
sea of electromagnetic radiation.  Our sensors select some of the 
radiation and construct a utile internal representation.  This 
seems to satisfy our needs.
