Conceptualizing the Predicates of the Goethe–Newton Controversy about Color

Аннотация

The Goethean opposition of light and darkness is presented as a chromatic conceptualization that involves constructing information models for quantization of radiation, reflection, transmittance, absorption, and refraction of light by matter by introducing tangential functions, which made it possible to establish the relationships between absorption and refraction of light. The principle of retaining information in the light stream led to the derivation of the relevant formulas. The relationship between the mind and the environment in the interaction of a light stream with matter is formalized.
