Abstract
The visual system has a limited capacity to fuse overlapping impressions. It takes advantage of three principles of organization: (1) The mixing of different impressions resulting in a new entity (compensation principle); examples are the mixing of colors, dark and light at the retina, Fechner's paradox. The twelve researchers whose work is reported here analyzed two other unifying principles: (2) Selection by successive contrasts (polarization principle) and (3) subordination in a hierarchy of vision (differentiation principle).
