COMPREHENDING
Every act of understanding is an act of reduction. The vortices are turned into squares. Comprehension and reduction are the same word.
Every act of understanding is an act of reduction. The universe is continuous and infinite in its detail; the mind that perceives it is finite. To make sense of complexity, we have to compress it — to take something that flows and twists and replace it with something we can hold in a single thought. We do not see the world directly. We see a model of it, built by the mind in the act of looking.
A single field, drawn twice.

▶The Story Behind This Series
This series depicts that encounter. Each piece is generated from a single mathematical field, drawn twice: once as continuous flow lines (the world as it is), and once as averaged rectangular blocks (the world as the mind holds it). The vortices are turned into squares. Comprehension and reduction are the same word.
Mathematical primitive: paired vortex fields, streamline integration, recursive block averaging
