Funny, but I never thought of the degrees as discreet, or limited in resolution. From what I can tell of neural representation, it's built to represent anything that can be encoded via our sensorium. Kinda big space. But when you're up against the resolution limit, wouldn't know.

The number of neurons allocated for this is fixed. In the somatosensory cortex, it is going to be proportional to the number of nerve terminals in the body, but for visual imagination, we have a translation from 2d to 3d, no?

in lucid dreams this feels like it operates at the maximum resolution, someone just needs to figure out how to access these circuits while awake

people have figured that out but in many jurisdictions it is not legal

It's a single pixel on a 640x480 display (approx).

Try using an Oculus Quest with the best immersive content available, and compare to being outside in nature. I think that there is about a magnitude of difference left (but not more, so it is really pretty good).

...feels infinite? resolve a smaller angle by "zooming" in to find or see the angle
-
Of course it does, because you can zoom as far as you want. But at any given scale, there is probably a maximal density of features.

deeply unclear how I would measure this, and qualitatively it begins to feel like zooming down into a fractal very quickly
