An interesting demonstration

@hilde45,
At first I was going to disagree but I remembered that gestalt is a psychological term so "placed" and "put together" make sense in that respect. A different kind of perception from a different, but relevant field.

The OP's question is a complex one if one gives it too much consideration as I find it akin to how a fundamentalist would argue. Forget the whole, the sum of the parts, the everything, and argue some minutiae, some basic part, and elevate that to the whole in order to negate what is real, what is apparent, and deny it's existence, relevance or importance.

All the best,
Nonoise

i concur with your post.... thanks nonoise...

@nonoise Yep -- that's exactly the sleight of hand that this panel is embarked upon. Fallacy of misplaced concreteness, Whitehead called it.

Very good description if we use Whitehead idea of the fundamental error which reduce the complexities of a concrete phenomenon, sound and music experience, to only one of his aspect, some details, mistakingly taken for the whole and erroneously "proven" (blind test) to be the only concrete reality by an ideological stance....

@hilde45,
Thanks for the validation and the Whitehead reference.
That'll make for some interesting reading.

All the best,
