Bayes' theorem is used to infer the most likely explanation of a visual stimulus, which could be an object or collection of objects in the visual scene. A symptom is an observation or measurement that is used to infer the underlying cause or condition, and is analogous to a visual stimulus. Therefore, the best match for the relationship between a symptom and its cause in the context of using Bayes' theorem to resolve ambiguities in vision is a visual stimulus and objects, which are the candidates for the most likely interpretation of the input. Perceptual constancy, depth, and object are not directly related to the use of Bayes' theorem to resolve ambiguities in vision, or do not accurately capture the analogy between a symptom and its causes.
