But if you do peel back that interpretive layer, then you increase sensation at the point of contact with this image.
Interestingly, the initial way I managed to perceive the lines as equal length is by splitting the image into the “railroad” part and the “lines” part, and trying to ignore the “railroad” part and just noticing the lines. I think this substantial reduces my overall contact with the image!
I know what you mean though, and another way I can perceive the lines as equal length is by treating the image as a 2D layout of blobs of color, which definitely increases my contact with the image.
A re-interpretation that makes me perceive the lines as equal length without any problems is to label them as “some kind of magnets that hover above each other”
As this is somewhat realistic, while letting the lines integrate well with the rest of the railroad (maybe this is an artistic impression for Maglev trains?), this does not break immersion for me.
