I have no idea what you’re saying, but their receptors work in 1D instead of 3D color space. Dimensionality of black-white/brightness is 1D so the analogy is correct, they see in the same number of dimensions as black-white vision. We do not know how their brain actually interprets though.
Actually, you’ve pretty much nailed what I’ve been trying to say.
That’s a good way of rephrasing my point. Calling it “black and white” is an analogy and not explicitly what they see. While we don’t know how the brain interprets vision without comes from our perspective (“is my blue your blue?”), it’s not “black and white” in the way we know it.
The title just states it as if they explicitly see only “black and white” and I was just trying to point out the difference. It spreads bad information phrased like that.
