Discovering Patterns comment

Seeing beyond the obvious

This is the second of our brief snips from the 6LL pre-course introduction.

It may not be obvious at first glance but everything we do depends on how our senses pick up and interpret patterns.

When pattern-making skills are limited it is as if you are in a meaningless fog.

Not only fog but smoke, depression, hot-tub warm water immersion, perfume, bath bubbles, fire-retarding foam, pitch darkness and a white-out snowstorm are all the same.

How come?  They prevent perception of edges.

Without edge detection we cannot see shapes and without shapes there are no perceived objects.

Even letters of the alphabet are nonsense if edges are not detected.
