Textual Complexity vs. Visual Simplicity
#35
While it may be tempting to call the built-in duality of VMs White Aries an optical illusion, it really is just a simple and very effective example of visual misdirection. Everybody falls for it. And if the mind is a blank slate, the alternative is just an unavoidable artistic artifact without meaning or consequence. But that is not the case. There is a clear path of interpretation to verifiable, historical grounding. There are additional contributory factors in Post #31.

Furthermore, there is a connection and association to a pair of patterned markers, in the circular text bands of VMs White Aries. The simplicity of visual appearance disguises a level of structural complexity that has not been fully defined. The significance of the VMs artist's use of heraldic interpretations has not been recognized.
