we don't just see things (ducks, rabbits, drawings), we see things as things (the drawing as a duck or a wabbit).
Yes! Minds are amazing, are they not? Like in some of those illusion pictures: for ex., inside a grid of dots there is a blank, three-sided space, and we "see" a triangle, even though there are no lines defining the boundaries. We're seeing what isn't there. Gee--is that
mental ullage?
