TRANSLATION IS VISION (RESEARCH AS WEAPON)

Deploys research findings as evidence against photon-worship. Synesthesia proves sensory channels are malleable—sound CAN BE color. Echolocation demonstrates "seeing" happens in brain's processing, not eyeball's detection. AI perception paradox reveals language-based visual understanding operates without photons. Embodied cognition shows design emerges from gesture/movement/spatial navigation, not retinal input. Each insight is a crack in the photon-supremacy myth. Builds case that translation between modalities IS vision, not a substitute for it.
