While there is no assurance that the Correlational Opponent Processing
model is correct. The model would suggest that red is red and is not
a quality that exist only in the mind. The visual system would use a
standing
reference gaussian frequency of 100 hertz. Red is the information
that is an overwrite on the reference frequency and would represent
the gaussian vibration of the chemical responsible for red after it
absorbs one quanta of energy. The electron shared by a the Y shaped
arms of the chemical are kicked open like a mouse trap. The opponent
reaction defines it is red or green which would be correlated with the
energy of the vibration. Since red is defined as an informational
overwrite on a standard reference frequency it becomes possible to get
color blind people to see red. I have done this for red and blue with
primitive equipment.
