Both Mr. Merriam and Mr. Webster agree that Pareidolia (per-ˌī-ˈdō-lē-ə -ˈdōl-yə) is: "The tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. The scientific explanation for some people is pareidolia, or the human ability to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness."
- but what do you call perceiving a meaningful intentional repeated visual pattern????
Or Patterns??
A triangular flat topped boulder,
Chosen perhaps because of the suggestion of an eye,
In just the right place, in order to appear as a Big Stone Snake???
A diamond shaped stone, seven scales back, can sometimes be another repeated pattern,
Another important stone also sometimes repeated, whispers
"Possibly the Crystal," but one just can't say for sure...
