Abstract
Most diagrams concerning binocular vision and squint contain the cyclopean eye, which is a vestige of the 2000-year-old projection theory. The author's previously published diagram is based on a motor theory of spatial localization which was been formulated by Descartes, Lotze, and Roelofs.
