  • Experimental method using 35 black-and-white strips of 7 squares each (3 black, 4 white) with multiple cognitive tasks (description, memorization, tachistoscopic recognition, subjective simplicity rating) to measure perceived coherence and correlate it with number of local symmetries
  • The physics concept of reduction from larger to smaller symmetry groups, cited as consistent with but less comprehensive than the principle of unfolding wholeness
