ABSTRACT
What do you see, if anything, when you look at this “picture”? Most people only see disconnected black shapes. Since one does not know what to look for, the difficulty is compounded. Given a hint that the picture is of a farm animal, some people will form closure. Some, however, require additional information to form closure; the animal is a cow. Some may not be able to form closure, become frustrated and give up. The ability of the human eye/brain to “connect the dots” and form closure on such scant information is amazing-truly amazing. (If you have not formed closure on the fragmented picture, refer to Appendix B for the answer.)
It takes formidable energy and discipline to evoke the subjective from the literal, to convert the specific into the universal.
