My theory, this is not about crisscrossing but about splitting. Splitting is done to avoid shared state. Non shared state is crucial for individuality. Other senses - hearing, touch, smell are wired in the same splitting way - hearing from the left ear is processed in both brain hemispheres, so is hearing from the right ear. Now the problems with digital photos is that they are the very thing the brain wiring avoids - a single non-split capture, this is the cause of confusion on a mass scale. This is gravely amplified by recent advances in "AI" object renderings. Brain or unconscious has no tags to differentiate between real and artificial. I have multiple experiences of software systems displaying artificial splitting and duplication, I also experienced duplication of objects in the real world. If anyone knows anything about such experiences or can correct errors in this comment or provide further clearer explanation, please do. I believe some quantum phenomena can be at play here too. I also experienced double stereo hearing, my hearing was as if I heard two separate stereo inputs, as if I had four ears. I have aphantasia, if that matters.
Not that I fully disagree, but this reply is of limited helpfulness. I don't think quantum phenomena can be ignored within the context of human body. I don't know what happens with double-slit experiments, how the sight of it is encoded in the body memory. Software developers have great tools for assuring and checking source code correctness, but the situation for meat-space bodies is very different in practice. Unless you live in some advanced techno-utopia with access to advanced medicine. I don't know where to look for help. I can't run fsck-brain /dev/brain on me.
From the point of view of quantum mechanics your body is very 'noisy'.
You only see quantum mechanical effects, like what you see in the double-slit experiment, in essentially undisturbed systems. That's why when you 'measure' which path the photons take, the interference pattern in the double-slit experiment fails to occur. Your body having lots and lots of atoms sloshing around at body temperature is analogues to taking measurements. It 'collapses' the wave function, if you pardon me using terminology from the Copenhagen interpretation.
