 Patton (forthcoming) supports this reading, adding that “While the relationalist reading of Helmholtz is certainly defensible, it is not the end of the story: restricting ourselves to an argument according to which Helmholtz only is defending contemporary relationalism would risk losing some of the force and complexity of Helmholtz’s view... for Helmholtz, habit and inference – and even deliberate interference – can change the relational properties involved, and thus change my perceptual experience... for Helmholtz, Fechner, and Weber, perceptual experience of complex phenomena like music and colored objects is not reducible to the ground-level sensory response to physical stimuli.”
