There has yet to be an established theory on the mirror problem, although various theories insist on the final resolution. The top reason is that this phenomenon is relevant to physical and cognitive processes. In previous works, the author proposed a comprehensive theory of the problem based on the concept of isotropic and anisotropic spaces. This time, the physical process was analyzed based on the real image formed in a camera system, utilizing the Cartesian coordinate system to successfully prove the mirror reversal mechanism. That may suggest the risk of using virtual images in analyzing problems relating to the visual image and more.
