Descartes’ Substance Theory and Mind-Body Dualism
Descartes’ Theory of Substance and Mind-Body Dualism
In all areas, Descartes defined substance as that which exists in such a way that it does not need anything else to exist. He distinguished three types of substance:
- Spiritual or Thinking Substance:
- Infinite: God. Has no parts, so it is infinite.
- Finite: Soul, a spiritual substance, but finite.
- Extended or Material Substance.
Descartes’ ultimate aim was to safeguard the autonomy of the soul with respect to the subject. Classical science, imposing a

CCD Photosensor
The CCD photosensor is the digital camera component responsible for transforming light into electrical signals.
Key Characteristics of Digital Cameras
Resolution
Resolution describes the level of detail in an image. A 6-megapixel sensor is often considered a good balance between megapixels and image quality for compact cameras.
Optical Zoom
Optical zoom adjusts the camera’s focal length to bring the subject closer. A 4x zoom is a common value.

3D Graphics Rendering and Rasterization in WebGL
3D images are rasterized—meaning they are turned into pixels (a 2D array of colors) in the frame buffer. Only draw triangles when using WebGL. The main reason is that their vertices lie on the same plane—a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far. A pixel is represented by numeric values indicating a color, is identified by X/Y screen coordinates, and is held in a frame buffer. A frame buffer is an array (usually of integers), a piece of memory that contains the pixels, colors,
