zoomed in, will look as squares (like a squared notebook), each of which consists of
three colours (subpixels: red, green, and blue). Combining these three primary colours at
each point makes it possible to reproduce any colour on the monitor screen. The more
pixels there are in the same area of the screen, the better and sharper (in more detail) the
image on it will be. What is a pixel? It is just an element of an image sensor, the smallest
element of a two-dimensional digital image in a pixel grid (in bitmapped graphics) on
the monitor screen. This is a set of electrodes. What is displaying image on the screen? It
is, in fact, control of electrical voltage that is applied to each electrode (light emitting
diode). The size and direction of the electric field, in its turn, is controlled by the
software component and the processor of the videocard.
When your move a "mouse" with your hand, the electrical signals from the optical
sensor go via USB (device for transmitting information) to that part of the computer
circuitry that is responsible for processing them. The processed signal is sent to the
video card. Further, according to its programme, it changes the characteristics of the
electric field applied to specific electrodes (LEDs) on the screen (pixels). Accordingly,
their light intensity changes, for example, some become black, and others white. For you
it creates the illusion of the cursor's movement on the screen.
In other words, you only think that you move the cursor. In fact, thanks to the work of
electronic circuits and programs, you only change external conditions for the electrode
(LED), and it acquires new properties for itself. And thanks to that, the light passing
through it acquires other characteristics (frequency and intensity). If the cursor is located
at a given point at this moment in time, then you create conditions for changing the
optical characteristics of the point by performing an "impulse" (having moved the
"mouse" with your hand).
Anastasia: You could say that in a way I trigger the jump of the cursor from one point
to another, from one pixel to another.
Rigden: Yes. The movement of the cursor is, in essence, a figurative example of the
prototype of the unobservable motion (life) of the material body in space and time
thanks to the ezoosmos. The ezoosmos is a jump of information from one information
building block to another one: an information building block pulls the information and
