Glass patterns

 Here's some example "Glass patterns" formed when laying a transparent copy of an image on top of the image, which even works when the top image is rotated, shifted, or stretched. ( technically, affine transformations).

If there's streching involved you get spirals not circles but they're just as"obvious".

=============================== Out of context you might ask what this is about!  The images display the fact that you don't need really obvious landmarks to align two images, in fact you can use this property to align images of waves or grass or sand or stars that have no sharp corners to match up at all!         My US patent discusses this in depth, but more simply, if you want to align two images that cover some of the same area, but the images are rotated or tilted or scaled or stretched by perspective differently,  you just need to lay them atop each other at a slight angle and find the magic circle pattern, and imagine putting a thread through both images at the center of the thread.  then move them and pick a new overlap and find a second circle,  then move them and find a third circle, so you now have 3 threads.  Now slowly pull the threads tight and stretch the images to remain around the threads, and voila, you have reconciled the two images without need to find any recognizable objects.   The "crumpled paper" theorem says that if you have two similar images and crumple one up any way at all and lay it atop the other one, at least one point will exactly match up in X, Y location.    By extension, if "people" are really "similar" in some deep way,  you should always be able to find at least one point of agreement between two of them.   It's a big IF but it's worth pondering.

Community building images - to inspire conversation

 

 Here are some images related to human conversation and interaction.

One thing  your team could do is to have everyone look at the image and, if one resonates,  share that thought with the group.  It's a simple exercise but it might take you somewhere you didn't expect.
