Physical processes of mirror reversal based on the real image of the optical system

All explanations for the mirror reversal phenomenon thus far before the author’s work have been based on the geometric illustration of plane symmetry, whether or not the explainer thinks the illustration is based on the optical principle. However, optically, those illustrations are based on the virtual image, and such situations as the plane symmetry can also be substantialized by using real objects of an enantiomorphic pair, such as right and left hands, without using optical explanation. Thus, only such an illustration of the plane symmetry does not represent the optical mechanism of the mirror reversal phenomenon perfectly. Another lack of understanding in explanations thus far is that directional notions such as top-bottom, front-back, and right-left are not geometric, so such directional notions cannot be used in strictly explaining physical processes. This time, I analyzed the problem based on the real image formed in a camera system as a substitute for the human eye, utilizing the Cartesian coordinate system. Thus, the study clarified the physical process of the mirror reversal phenomenon optically, directly from the specular reflection of the ray, resolving the above two problems. Further, this study proved that the concept of isotropic and anisotropic spaces underlies the mirror recognition and the mirror reversal phenomenon.
