This image perfectly represents what a layered thought looks like to
me. When I see a word, or a symbol, or an icon, or a number, I
see an additional version or layer of meaning behind it, and I mean
that quite literally. I see a second or third version of the visible,
though I "know" what I am looking at isn't "see-able" to other people.
(At least, I know that as an adult.) In this image, the dark shape in
front represents the visible while the white shape behind is equivalent
to the version I view automatically on the otherside of consciousness.
Even as I look at the additional layer, I understand that it is
generated from the object in front of it. That's the reason the edges
are indistinct and the shape is amorphous, much like the nature of
meaning itself.
