Actually there are more than 100 complete screens in the visual cortex at
the back of the brain. Each recieves information from the complete "primary
patch" thats equivalent to a screen plain everything. Not only this many
screens but each in a hierarchal position finding particualar features.

Even if it turns out that we were not seeing the real world, what we saw was
close enough to allow us to move around in it and survive init.

The God spot might be some final relays that things like fires, storms,
thunders, catastrophes, etc..., where things bigger than us must be
navigated around or within.
