Still coding

Still building the base code. Rediscovering the joys of const correctness and circular inheritance. Should be done this week.

Also found something in the below papers I should look into later — they suggest that people perceive a “stable” scene even under varying “camera calibrations”. It looks like there may be a series of papers to chase down to get the full idea, but the gist (from the abstract of 2006):

“[…] observers are more willing to adjust their estimate of interocular separation or distance walked than to accept that the scene has changed in size.”

Which sounds like active stimulus overriding past experience. Which is maybe a constructive way to think about adaptability.
