Abstract
Feynman’s quantum mechanical equation for absorption of light leads to a sharp response as wavelength matching occurs. It appears that our sensory system utilizes this equation and a model of color vision is demonstrated that agrees well with the measured color sensitivity in humans. The manner in which color responses add together into meaningful perception supports the author’s view that nature is based on specific information theory probabilities described in the author’s FQXi essay [1]. It is speculated that life is an emergent property of chemicals that absorb energy and use information.
