This question begs the question: What is DOUBLE VISION?

What is a vision?
Not sure, but I'll know it when I see it.

Referring back to my days in quality management, a "vision" needs to inspire, and it needs to articulate a different, future paradigm, a different belief, a different way of thinking that's better.
In this regard, I can think of photos that do this. The "vision" may not be verbal, but it's possible for a photo to be a vision none the less.
I think Vision as referred by Minor White and other photographers is just a VISUALIZATION of a photograph in your mind. You see it in your mind, and try to find it or compose it. Many times unsuccessfully.

Coming late to this. I have a simple answer; I'll say that it's a photographer's approach to the world and how they portray it. Which may change over time. JM Cameron, Stieglitz, Strand, Atget, Abbott, Weston, Adams, Evans, White, Evans, Adams, the list goes on and on; the photographers you remember have/had a vision of the world that made them (and so, their pictures) unique.
By comparison, the countless thousands of senior portraits I made in my younger days reflected not my vision, but that of the studio which employed me. i'm not at all ashamed of that work; it was honest and (mostly) well done. But they weren't mine.
An sculptor usually makes a visualization of his object before the first hit, that vision guides him throught a complex crafting process. Also painters do that, even they draw the vision on a paper.
We are able to do that since hundreds of thousands years ago, it was a survival factor.
To make an stone tool an hominid had to imagine the finished tool before starting to hit an stone.
AA "invented" the ZS for that, this is to imagine the final print to guide the crafting since exposure.
