Recursive Reflection Resolution

 

What do I see in the eyes of my dear one? What does she see in my eyes? It's not as simple of a matter as just reading emotions through expressions. There is an interreflection that goes on between any two people that try to see eye to eye. This process is informed by the physics of the photons traveling from the sun and bouncing off of the surfaces around us. Some of the photons that bounce off of her eyes towards mine are then bounced off of my corneas right back towards hers. How many levels of recursion are there? I realized this process after doing raytracing with POV-Ray, and learning of the physics model behind it. These processes leads to more questions that take us deeper into the nuclei of our relationships. What do I see of myself in her eyes? What does she see of herself in my eyes? What do I see in her eyes of how she sees herself in mine? What does she see in my eyes of how I see myself in her eyes? With each subsequent level, perception is diminished as the images are blurred. Our eyes are not perfect reflectors, but in our minds, there is a conceptual possibility to see infinity in every gaze, and to feel an infinity in every touch.
