Foundations of Perspective Theory introduces the principal theoretical concepts used to explain what perspective is, how it operates, what it produces and what purposes perspective systems serve.
These concepts provide the foundation for the wider Theory of Perspective and for the more detailed classifications developed through Perspective Category Theory.
Core Theory
- Theory of Perspective → — the wider theoretical framework for understanding perspective.
- Perspective Framework → — the organised conceptual structure within which perspective can be analysed.
- Perspective System → — an organised arrangement of components and processes operating together to produce, view, capture, project, represent or interpret perspective.
Principles, Methods and Processes
- Perspective Principle → — a rule, mechanism or relationship contributing to the production of perspective.
- Perspective Method → — a practical or theoretical technique through which perspective principles are applied.
- Perspective Process → — the sequence or operation through which a perspective image, view, model or representation is formed.
- Perspective Outcome → — the result produced by a perspective method, process or system.
Purpose and Function
- Goals of Perspective → — the principal purposes for which perspective systems operate.
- Functions of Perspective → — the many ways perspective can view, capture, measure, model, represent, project, compare, simulate, communicate and explore spatial information.
