The Art of Construction: Unveiling the Invisible Surfaces

Explore the intriguing concept of constructing subjective figures that occlude only with convex cusps, the correlation between symmetry and constructing surfaces, and how our visual intelligence constructs the world we see. Discover the rules governing our perception and the magic of disappearing lines.

  1. Chapter 3 The Invisible Surface that Glows

  2. Construction • D. Hoffman suggest that we construct everything that we see • Normal People vs. Mr. S. • Evidence ?? • Subjective contours and surfaces

  3. Borders vs. Brightness • The Illusions below demonstrate constructing a border without distorting the brightness.

  4. Possible Rule • There is a large correlation between symmetry and our ability to construct subjective surfaces. Support Disproof

  5. Rule 11 • Construct subjective figures that occlude only if there are convex cusps.

  6. Parallel Lines • Our mind tends to notice parallel lines and assume them to have some sort of relation.

  7. Rule 12 • If two visual structures have nonaccidental relation, group them and assign them to a common origin.

  8. Rule 13 • If three or more curves intersect at a common point in an image, interpret as them at a common point in space. • This is why the magic square begins to disappear !!

  9. Constructing lines • Rods and Cones • Simple and complex cells focus on the orientation of lines.

  10. 3D Constuction • We are actually able to construct objects. • But this is not limited to illusions printed in this book. We construct everything we see!!

  11. Arguments… • Since we all see the same thing we must not construct it.

  12. Arguments… • If I construct it, why doesn’t it comply with what I want ??

  13. Conclusion • We construct everything we see based on a set of specific rules that allow us all to construct the same objects. • Our visual intelligence is not limited to reality. • Mrs. B
