Your experiences in life are determined in part by your perception, and in larger part by your prescription.

It’s all about perception!

I had a very happy childhood in a house full of all sorts of toys like poiuyts, rubin’s figures, necker cubes, kaleidoscope puzzles, and funny heuristic games. My play room was always a total mess of toys and pieces of furniture all in constant rotation and translation beyond any scale, with all kinds of deformations, changing lighting, and component features, that defied invariably any possible perception of order. My best friend, a classic Dalmatian dog, to this day stands as a whole in my mind’s eye, his feet, ears, nose, tail, and all, sniffing around. When I was older, I had the walls in my room, from the ceiling to the floor, plastered with poster girls’ pictures that seemed to me back then to contain more explicit spatial information than the sensory stimulus on which they were based. Yes, those were the days! We did not live like separable units modeled individually. Our block designs turned us all into equals; we were like one family picture, different aspects but of one single unified dynamic mechanism.

greater than the sum of the parts
