GESTALT (TEMPORAL) 1)2)
← Back
According to J.W SUTHERLAND, "… the complex system tends to become a temporal gestalt, carrying on interchange with other temporal gestalts within a field which, itself, must be defined and treated as a gestalt rather than a mechanism" (1973, p.38).
This is a somewhat overstretched extension of the gestalt concepts. However, it is obvious that our perception of time depends largely upon our permanently renewed observation of different more or less stable entities, which undergo transformations of different kinds at different rates.
