    Goodman's condition of finite differentiation can potentially be met by digital image technology through subphenomenal color discrimination.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Current technologies for sampling and instantiating light intensities group objective colors well below the level of phenomenal discrimination.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.In the Truecolor system, digital sampling technology carves up objective color space into a disjoint series of wavelength intensities yielding over 16 million objective colors.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The light intensity groupings expressed as RGB triplets in Truecolor can be narrower than the objective color types that contribute to the resultant image scheme.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Goodman's finite differentiation requires that differences between characters be perceivable in principle, not merely measurable by instruments.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Subphenomenal color distinctions, by definition inaccessible to perceptual discrimination, cannot satisfy a condition whose function is to ground notational identity in perceptual practice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A scheme built on distinctions no human perceiver can make fails Goodman's purpose: ensuring that syntactic compliance can be determined from the object itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Truecolor sampling produces continuous gradients across device-dependent color spaces, meaning the 'same' RGB triplet renders different objective colors on different displays.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If the physical instantiation of a digital character varies with output hardware, the character-token relation lacks the stability Goodman's allographic identity requires.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Finite differentiation cannot be met at the level of encoding alone when the scheme's compliance classes shift depending on the rendering environment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Pixellation alone, no matter the resolution, cannot account for images displayed on LCD screens belonging to a digital scheme; digital images qua images thus remain stubbornly analog. But perhaps Goodman’s condition of finite differentiation can still be met with a closer analysis of digital image technology. Current technologies for sampling and instantiating light intensities group objective colors well below the level of phenomenal discrimination. For example, in the standard “Truecolor” syst
