Ironically, anyone who examines a greyscale photograph can rule out ranges of colours within a segmented field.
Just as musical notes reside within a given octave, it seems colour has a similar correlate with luminance positions; the segmented form becomes the octave, and the notes reside in a hierarchy of increment to decrement relationships within the segmented regions.

Perhaps related, it is intriguing that only a “shape” can be “black”. It seems challenging to imagine a “light” as “black” outside of the convention of using the term “black light” to describe a wholly different phenomena. At which point can a surface be distinguished from a light? This would seem to critically hinge upon the idea of a local increment in the field. Extending to colours, an energy *increment* would appear to be a prerequisite for something to be bound as a “light”.
