Representation of Invisible Objects Implies Separate Representations for Visible and Invisible

A consequence of having a representation of invisible objects is that the representations for visible and invisible objects must be separate or distinguished from each other, so that the visual system can generate separate predictions in both cases. Otherwise, the visual system could not determine whether its representations predict visibility or invisibility, which would contravene the predictivity principle. Thus, simple single-channel prediction schemes like the one described by Marshall [7,8] are inadequate to represent occlusion and disocclusion events.
