Wholes through holes
Wholes through holes (Subtractive coherence or Transrational Gestalt Algebras) – The property of perception to present a simple but rich sensation rather than a complex data set. Unlike a symbol, where representational meaning is specified artificially, raw perceptions are instead understood to cohere on their own level in a bi-directional fashion. We can see this as we project images and meanings on what we see due to our personal awareness and cultural influences. The Rorschach effect is more indicative of private physics than Bayesian processes – the bottom up selection means nothing without a top down expectation of simplicity and wholeness.
A great gush of energy which I experienced but feeling of it cannot be put in words. you know it best. It provoked me to further read articles on Gestalt, though I meditated quite a number of times on the lines suggested by Perl. Dear Craig, you are a great writer and I have been studying your articles for the last 3-4 months. Your ACME is one of the top ideas which has gone to me heart. Affectaionate regards. bs
