The fact that the paper is physically folded and the two points are at the very same point in physical space. That doesn't happen even in efferent vision. Space cannot fold itself in half and make distant points in space come into physical contact. So this is a daft analogy.
If you want me to be able to visualize what you are trying to say, then it would
really help if you were to answer these questions:
When sunlight (including light of all wavelengths, including blue) hits a blue object, what happens to the blue-wavelength light as it hits that object? At one moment it is travelling towards the object along with all the light of other wavelengths. Then it hits the surface of the object. Then what?
Does it bounce off the surface to travel away from it? [Y/N?]
Is it absorbed by the blue object? [Y/N?]
Does it cease to exist? [Y/N?]
Does it stay there, at the surface of the blue object? [Y/N?]
Does it teleport itself instantly to any nearby films or retinas? [Y/N?]
If none of the above, then what? [Insert answer here]
