Question: "What is it a picture of?": Here one can specify the causal history. Counterfeiting: Solution: the counterfeit shows how the world should be, so that the picture is a picture of it. Realization of an image: the set of possible worlds, in which that happens what the image shows. Problem: E.g. House: is it empty or full of people? False: to say that it is "either full or empty". - Solution: possible worlds which are as the picture shows. - ((s) Then the house can accommodate every number of people.) II 185 Image/Representation/Howell/Cresswell: Thesis: one cannot simply say that an image represents something, but only that a subject understands the image at t in such a way that it represents that - more precisely, a 5-digit operator (time, person, circumstances, representation). Elliott Sober: Thesis: pictorial representation is not so different from linguistic representation, as is often assumed. >Representation, >Circumstances, >Situations, >Perception, >Time.}, note = { Cr I M.
