Schrödinger's Yellow Thought Experiment

The thought experiment that two people might have different inner experiences when seeing yellow, yet both call it yellow; if the inner yellowness is shared, it implies a single mind or ground.

Schrödinger's thought experiment suggests that color sensation might directly penetrate the realm of the single mind or ground, and inner light intensifies this bridge.

introduces
The chapter from The Nature of Order, Vol. 4, exploring how color, through the phenomenon of inner light, provides a direct glimpse of the I (ground), and presenting the eleven color properties that structure that unity.
