Ephemeral forms on the surface of the water.
.1 At particular times, on a quiet surface of water, either in a lagoon, or lake, or a sea, one can see more or less regular forms, of varying sizes, caused neither by the wind, nor by a boat.
.2 They “strive” to assume square shapes, orderly arranged. On rare occasions, at the end of a process, they succeed in doing so, up to a point.
.3 This would happen when all the water molecules, which are in a limited area, assume the same phase.
Perception of the water figures.
.4 Most of the times, one pass by the “ordinary water figures” without seeing them. With the exception of the persons who already know of their existence, and got accustomed to them. At least for the ordinary figures.
.5 At the beginning, the best way to exercise our minds to accept them, is to see them out of context, either in photos, or in movies. This way, the threshold of non-perception gets lower.
.6 That's because the water figures would be macroscopic manifestations of quantum effects, which our mind, in a series of events, tentatively would transform into plausible representations, into something which could possibly be in agreement with our experience.
See “insert P” on the perception of the water figures.
Exercising the mind to see them.
.7 The best way to "educate" the mind to perceive the water figures is to get used to seeing them.
.8 The beginner tends to see them as waves. When he begins to distinguish them from the waves, that means he is doing some progress.
Casual exercising.
.9 In the annexes below, there are introductory examples for random exercises. The figures that a person finds it easy to decode, may be difficult for another.
N.B. on movies.
Introductory examples: three examples, four examples, Chaotic water figures, Almost orderly water figures, Flat water.
Step by step tutorial.
.10 Among the water figures, there are the pseudo-waves, usually perceived by us as something of the category “waves”. While, in reality, between the waves and the pseudo-waves, up to now, seven differences have been already identified.
.11 Reasoning about each of these differences, it is a great way to eventually accept them as phenomena in their own right.
Later, see the differences between the “waves” and the “pseudo-waves” (pages 1.5 and 1.6).
