To perceive means to differentiate
When we perceive something, it is necessary that this something can be differentiated from its surroundings and appear as an independent whole. When we perceive an object, we remove it from its surroundings and experience it with all its features as a whole. This «deciphering» of reality by creating differences is a basic principle of perception at all levels of complexity. It is interesting that the search for similarities and contrasts is not only an analytical process related to the statistical methods of psycholinguistics [3], but that it also has a creative side to it. Many painters, poets, musicians and others see it as a way of representing their art. We have only to think of the Surrealists with the pictorial logic of René Magritte or the artists of the Fluxus movement, who made use of the poetic strength of the seemingly random. Spot 24 should be viewed in the light of this. If two words are linked by some objective formal relationship, in this case their word value, we are spurred to find some sensible connection in terms of content in much the same we see faces and human figures in random patterns. Thus the alphabet becomes a code, a concealed pattern, which can contain cryptic messages [2].
