But you've negelected the information content of the output signal. What about the energy needed to produce that much order? Hmm? Surely you should be counting that in the output power? (has anyone ever seriously - or not - done that sort of calculation?) Rowland.

Well, I could move my eyes. And I saw colour separation - single-beam projector, displayed RGB time sequentially, and eye movement was enough to make the colours visibly separate. From what the engineers said to me afterwards, it was at the time one of their bugbears, that problem. They wondered who'd put me up to asking that particular awkward question - didn't seem hugely surprised when I told 'em I'd spotted it all on my lonesome (so did a manager ask them to ask the question?) (There are ways to alleviate the problem, which doesn't exist in the expensive three beam rigs used for cinema projection. It's just that they hadn't got it sorted and I've always wondered about the problem they /didn't/ mention which had caused them to have failed to get the problem I saw sorted out - but that was an early demo, over 15 years back.)
