    Supports→The color physicalist must explain what the features presented in or represented in color experience are, given that those features are distinct from reflectances.

    This covariance between SSR structure and experiential similarity space provides the positive account demanded: experiential features represent objective groupings within reflectance property space.

    Key Terms

    Covariance(describing how SSR structure and experiential similarity space move in sync)
    A relationship where two things change together in a predictable way—when one goes up, the other goes up too, or when one changes, the other changes in a related way.
    Experiential similarity space(how our subjective experiences organize themselves)
    A mental map of how different experiences feel or seem similar or different to us—for example, how reddish and pinkish experiences are closer together than red and blue experiences.
    Objective groupings(what the statement claims actually exists in reflectance properties)
    Real patterns or categories that exist in the world itself, independent of anyone's opinion or personal experience.
    Reflectance property space(the physical reality being represented by our experiences)
    The complete collection of ways that physical objects can bounce or reflect light, organized into an abstract map or system.

    Represent (in philosophy)(as used in philosophy of representation)
    To stand for or express something else—like how a map represents a territory, or a word represents a concept.
    SSR structure(the objective physical property being discussed)
    A technical framework (likely 'spectral sensitivity response' or similar) that organizes information about how things physically reflect light and appear to our senses.
