Dynamic occlusion: Accretion & deletion of optical structure
Deletion (hiding) and accretion (revealing) of optical structure specifies edges of an object.

Dynamic occlusion: Accretion & deletion of optical structure
We do not need an edge to see an edge!
The information for an edge is NOT an edge!
The information for an edge is a higher-order relation in the optic array.

We do not need stimulation to perceive existence

Summary: Dynamic occlusion
We do not need a line to see a line (the information for a line is not a line)
The information for a thing is not the thing
We do not need “continuous stimulation” to see that something exists
Relative motion is sufficient to experience “depth”(no need to have two eyes to create stereo 3D, etc)
The information specifying reality is a higher-order relation in the optic array

Affordances: the perceived properties of the environment
• Information is detected…• but affordances are perceived
a) If information is specific to the environment
and
b) If perception is specific to information
then
c) perception can be specific to the environment

Summary: ecological realism• Perception is based on information, not on sensations.
The sensations are mere side-effects and irrelevant for an explanation;
• The information for a thing is not the thing…• The information consists of higher-order properties,
the invariants embedded within the optic array;• The invariants can be detected by suitably attuned and
active perceptual system;• Information specifies affordances, the real
opportunities for action in the real world.• 2012: Searle finally acknowledges that Gibson “is on the right track”:
