Making Sense Of Colour

Differences in colour correspond to different spatial wavelengths of light. A light wave grades the potential locations of photons in a beam in terms of probability, with each peak as the most probable location of a photon, and each trough as the least probable location. Spatial wavelength is therefore the spatial interval between equiprobable photons, and so it is the different spatial intervals between equiprobable photons that correspond to different colours.

The wave function grades the range of potential construals of experience in terms of probability.

A particle is a construal of experience that is an instance of that probability-graded potential.
