Seems to miss the point. How can you recognize a cartoon and a photo of
Madonna, despite their radically different point-by-point parts? Because the
brain uses fluid schemas - outline structures/frameworks - for both visual and
sound images... and this enables it to even in extreme cases ignore the parts
altogether as long as the outline structures loosely map onto each other -
hence you can recognize two Google logos as the same though one is all fruit
and the other all buldings. Schemas are what maths can't handle - and are
fundamental to AGI.

For the same reason that gray looks green on a red background. You have more
neurons that respond to differences in tones than to absolute frequencies.

Why do we listen to a song sung in different scale and yet identify it as the
same song.? Does it have something to do with the fundamental way in which we
store memory?
