Shape as Memory Storage - Ambient Intelligence for Scientific Discovery - page 102

Paintings are structured by the rules of memory storage.
That is, the rules of artistic composition
are the rules of memory storage.
In Fig 22, the rules for the extraction of history from curvature extrema, are
applied to Picasso's Still Life. The reader can see that this gives considerable
insight into the composition of the painting. For an extensive analysis of this
painting and several others, the reader should see my topics.

20 Final Comment
This paper has shown only a small part of the extensive rule-system, developed
in my topics, for the inference of history from shape. The topics elaborate several
hundred rules, of which the Process-Grammar, given here, consists of only six.
The rules are divided into systems which each take different properties of a shape
as different sources of information of actions that determined the shape; i.e., in
the same way that the Process-Grammar takes the curvature extrema as the
information source.
As stated earlier, the rules give new foundations for geometry, which oppose
the conventional foundations based on invariants. Invariants are those properties
