AT:if you select 20 random people and
rigorously investigate what they think of some iconic text, like a
Jesus parable, they will conclude 40 different things. The magic of
discourse is a) that there is method to the madness of producing N
interpretations, where N close to infinity and b) that in a select few
cases, not unlike the collapse of the wave function, this infinity
collapses to the desired outcome.Most likely visual scenes are
evoked/involved in which we easily
select the desired outcomes out of other nonsensical interpretations.
Actually, there are a potential infinity of diverse interpretations of any
text (or "discourse") - and any visual scene. This is basic to the world of
arts and letters (and rhetoric) - and is borne out by the reality - people
are still producing the millionth+n interpretations of Hamlet and show no
sign of stopping.
The same is true of visual scenes: try asking people what was going on here:

People can agree that they are Obama and McCain, but not what they're doing.
Maths and logic simply do not transpose to the much larger world of arts &
letters - & real world reasoning. Opposite worlds. Like narrow AI vs AGI.
