Da Vinci Notes #67 - Whole and Parts
General conclusions.
All objects project their whole image and likeness, diffused and
mingled in the whole of the atmosphere, opposite to themselves. The
image of every point of the bodily surface, exists in every part of
the atmosphere.
All the images of the objects are in every part of the atmosphere.
The whole, and each part of the image of the atmosphere is
[reflected] in each point of the surface of the bodies presented to
it. Therefore both the part and the whole of the images of the
objects exist, both in the whole and in the parts of the surface of
these visible bodies.
Whence we may evidently say that the image of each object exists,
as a whole and in every part, in each part and in the whole
interchangeably in every existing body. As is seen in two mirrors
placed opposite to each other.
Keith's Ideas:
1. One projects his/her image in whole and in parts.
2. One can pick up the parts or the whole.
3. How could the parts be consistent with the whole?
