The interface between the system that presents a digital moving image
and the system that processes it is one of inequality, since the
structures and protocols that underlie the perception of such an array
constitute a biological given.  Any efforts to improve the interface,
therefore, must be directed toward the presentation side.

The major difficulty arises from the fact that information must be
organized and presented to a system that is very complex and whose
rules of processing are not entirely understood.  Artifacts can arise
in production or presentation, or in the interaction of the presenting
and receiving systems.  If artifacts are to be eliminated, information
making up the visual array must be presented so as to be perceived by
the human system as though it were from a natural array of light
coming from a physical world under constant illumination.
