Primes¶
- Contrast
- Contrast is one of the most general and foundational abstractions in perception and cognition because the sensory systems evolved as difference-detection machines, an insight first formalized by Mach (1865) when he documented the bright and dark bands at luminance edges (now called Mach bands) and traced them to lateral inhibition between adjacent receptors.
This sourceOriginal report of Mach bands — bright and dark bands at luminance edges traced to lateral inhibitory interactions among retinal receptors; directly supports the claim that the visual system computes contrast rather than absolute intensity. Citation details (venue, vol. 52, pp. 303–322, 1865) verified against the MDZ digitized original.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
