I think this model explains the beauty of powerful imagery as well. Consider this poem: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/52757/bermudas-56d2317c9465f?mc_cid=201e2ec0e6&mc_eid=5d58076011 Although I’ve never been to the Bermudas, the imagery is so vivid that the place is very literally constructed in my mind, giving a satisfaction at the sense made of the world. Also, such images give expression to the ineffability of subjective experience, enabling richer sense-making as we go throughout life. Enjoying your Substack!
