Image Hierarchy

Image Hierarchy

We can go further, however, in forcing a prescribed structural set-up on layer II. We can postulate that images themselves are ordered hierarchically, allowing images to be part of, or to motivate, larger images as minemes do. Images at the centres of these hierarchies are base images. Sometimes it is possible to select one base image for a whole work, the global base image, the exhibit of which is the global exhibit of the text.
