Document Summary
Images provide a distinctive way of representing the world. Like pictures in the fact that images show exactly what a form looks like. Creating an image will make some attributes of a form more prominent and others less so. Putting your thoughts into imagery can literally shape the flow and sequence of your ideas. Ideas are inherently organized in a way that pictures are not, and this organization can influence the sequence of your thoughts. Your understanding of the image guides which discoveries will, and which will not easily flow from the image. Images are stored in memory in a piece-by-piece fashion. To form an image, you activate the nodes specifying the image frame depict the form"s global shape. Then elaborations can be added to this frame create a full and detailed image. Images containing more parts/details take longer to create. Imagers have some degree of control over how complete and detailed their images will be.
