One tends to assume "seeing" as seeing similar images because we want to explain "lifelikeness" with similarity (wrongly).
That would mean that in order to vividly imagine the Zugspitze, I would have to see something else similar to the Zugspitze.
But the speaking "likeness" of a material image need not be explained in terms of literal resemblance, but must be explained in terms of the vividness of the "seeing" it evokes.

Recognition/Ryle: (according to Rorty): problems in relation to recognition are either
a) "conceptual" questions about the sufficient conditions of the normal use of expressions such as "recognition". or
b) questions about physiological mechanisms that raise no recourse problems because no one will be of the opinion that stability requires "abstract mechanisms" for tuning forks or photoelectric cells.
>Recognition, >Memory/Ryle.
