Escher Sentences

Escher drawings have repeatedly blown my mind. An Escher sentence is fascinating.

Here in Santa Fe there’s a … what? ….kinda sorta an Escher museum. Things that look like they’re happening when they aren’t. An Escher drawing fleshed out. Three dimensional rooms where staircases only go up. Cupboards open on a totally different vista.

It’s Meow Wolf and there are a few locations around the US. If you get the opportunity I strongly suggest you check it out.

That's an interesting concept I was not previously aware of. I think it will be a useful term to apply to much of the output of my AI assistant . . .

Thanks for that... I've always enjoyed Escher's work and was lucky enough to fist him museum in the Netherlands... Don't quote me but I think it's the house he lived in...

A long time ago I was studying computer language processing, and we used to throw around the sentence "green ideas sleep furiously." Grammatically correct, and meaningless. One of my profs used to say that linguistics is the study of well-formed single sentences; the point being that linguistics doesn't tell you how to extract meaning from speech, nor how to connect other sentences in a paragraph or conversation.
