2) My postulate is that the 6 layers in the cortex are necessary to see 4D space-time because 6-degrees of freedom (see wiki) are well-known in the engineering world to be necessary to model the movement of 3D objects in 3D space. You need 6 equations & 6 unknowns to solve.
3) Real-world example: Wasps are close cousins to ants. Some species you can't tell apart. But ants have only 2 layers of neurons for processing eye input & wasps have 6. It just so happens that in order to see the 2D world, you need only 2 degrees of freedom. Clearly, wasps ....
