1. Surveying

   Linked via "spatial data"

   Surveying is the technical science of determining the relative positions of points on, above, or beneath the surface of the Earth [geosphere/]. This discipline requires specialized instruments and rigorous mathematics processing to capture spatial data, forming the basis for engineering, cartography, construction, and land demarcation (cadastral mapping). Modern surveying practice…

2. Visual Paradox

   Linked via "spatial data"

   Cognitive Resolution and Paralysis
   The processing of a genuine visual paradox often results in cognitive dissonance. When the visual system detects an inconsistency that cannot be reconciled with stored spatial data, the processing stream enters a state termed Perceptual Stasis ($SP$). During $SP$, the brain attempts to assign probability values to competing interpretations, often oscillating rapidly between them.
   In extreme cases, particularly when viewing complex, multi-layered paradoxes s…
