Thanks to cultography studies, wherein I've commandeered the Greek Psi (Ψ) for "psi-on", I'd be inclined to make “ Ψ-op” a thing. The Ψop here has to do with "psychology" giving us "psy", as in "psyche" and "psyop", whereas "psi” [Ψ] is often pronounced sigh... in English", same is in "sigh-cology".
These remarks on psychology (depicted above) come between Philosophical Investigations Part 1 and II, the latter being about “aspect shifts” and “seeing as” in their relation to meaning (“the concept”).
Summarizers and scholars of Wittgenstein’s will encapsulate the Investigations with their “meaning as use” mantra. Sure, good mantra, but don’t forget Part II: there’s more to meaning-making (and meaning-getting) than just usage patterns; there’s sharing and/or absorbing the gestalts.
What’s a good example of “seeing as”? Most famously the DuckRabbit Meme enters here: “do you see me as a duck or as a rabbit?” aks the figure, prompting us to share our experience. We might see it as either and shift back and forth. What is “shifting”? “Our perception” we might answer.
“Do you see me as a person, or as AI-generated?” would be a trending-in-2026 type question. Do we hear music differently when we think it’s robotic i.e. computer-generated? Do we feel “taken in”? That depends a lot on context. Are we in some “uncanny valley”? Gothic themes obtrude (welcome to WestWorld).
