I think it is the same principal as simultaneous contrast.

I remember seeing that in a documentary about perception "WHat the bleep do we know?". I might have found some original reference at some point in a book about Magellan arriving for the first time at Tierra del Fuego. I don't remember the details.
Re:What Charles Bukowski’s Glamorous Displays of Alcoholism Left Out

The eighties for some seem now like the middie ages, yet there is a vagrant lifestyle that involves sex and substances among young people today as well.
Bukowski was a 'great' influence because he highlighted the seedier side of reality, simple people living unglamorous lives who find pleasure and maybe love in a basement flat with a bottle of cheap wine and some jazz on an old radio.

I would think that the tractatus would be more useful to an AI. But Witgebstein's remarkable ability to shift the paradign and over extend into a meta level of analysis seems similar to the way alpha mind and Leela play chess. The tools W uses to understand perception have a more probabilistic and irrational nature then the tools he uses in his previous work. As if he realized that human communication cannot be considered as a closed and finite system, hence I cannot see how his ideas are implemented in these applications, yet.
