Mindzr Brain
Mindzr Brain try and squeeze as much angular resolution as the laws of physics allow, then if you plotted the size of the lenses in the eye versus the square root of the size of the head, you'd get a straight line. And actually if you worked harder you'd get the slope right too. And that's what Horace sought. So this is beautiful because it's a plot which is faithful to the great diversity of nature Every point on this plot is a different kind of insect. And yet, the prediction for what you should see comes from these very fundamental physical principles. And these are tied together by the hypothesis that what nature has done is to push for eyes to be as good as they can be given the limitations of the laws of physics. Didn't have to be true.
