With the complete absence of any form of light, the object still retains the same physical structure and is able to be perceived via touch, smell, or other sight-unrelated sensory systems present in an organism, however even species known to have exceptional vision in darkened areas rely on light in a miniscule ambient form in order to maintain sight and are unable to rely on sight in environments devoid of all light. In the same manner, it would be difficult to truly define the “red” fire truck or “orange” cat as red or orange in a space of pure darkness - as light does not exist in any form. It cannot be reflected, it cannot be absorbed. It cannot be defined. The truck has been consumed, the cat has been consumed. In the purest darkness, their visual form has ceased to exist and other senses must be relied on in order to locate and perceive the entities in question - senses which are relatively ineffective within the human genome save for instances of adaptation due to loss of sight and resulting compensation within neural connections, allowing for greater secondary senses to develop (Bauer, 2017)

This is believed to be the primary origin of humanity’s fear of the dark; analogous with an ever-present fear of the unknown that exists in the majority of living things in various forms. Likewise, the association between darkness, the unknown, and potential danger has carried through much of human history and mythology, becoming associated with death, the supernatural, and black magic - the latter of which is now thought to have built its namesake on a combination of its association with the aforementioned concepts in addition to the lack of understanding of pagan rituals and occasional legitimate medical or scientific practices by observers, causing them to brand it as heresy. It is this sort of “backlash” to the unknown that led to occurrences such as the Witch Trials of 1962 and the greater persecution of “heretical” doctors, astronomers, and inventors throughout early history whose methods have now become accepted and commonplace in modern society.

Keeping this in mind however, “legitimate” black magic such as the invocation of demons and spirits, as well other occult practices, should not be discredited in the origin of the subject’s mythology either - and the association with darkness (or the “black” color) in this regard plays an equally important role in the greater mythology of the world.

With the exception of stygobionts (animals who have evolved to live without sight in a subterranean or deep sea environment), there is no living thing that is known to be able to withstand complete darkness for sustained periods of time without severe mental damage and potential adverse effects.
