Multiple Perspective

The Macroinformation Brief, just above, gives a few brief examples of macroinformation. Here's another brief example, so fundamental I'm shocked that I hadn't used it long ago:

Look at a Cézanne still life.


Something like the following is likely to be true no matter which particular still life you've found: You see the "top" of the bottle to the right, you do not see the top of the bottle to the left; yet the bottle to the left seems to be behind as well as "higher" than the bottle on the right! How can that be?

Cézanne has forged multiple perspectives! Different views prevail simultaneously!

The image is powered by contradiction, by incompatibility of view, by impossibilty.
