Drawing from the seminal definition of the principles of abstract art posed by Wassily Kandinsky in the early years of the twentieth century, and contextualizing that knowledge in contemporary cognitive metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999), the study attempts to arrive at an understanding of how cognitive structure emerges in pragmatic self-observation during the artistic process. Through a...

We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image content composition. Very different from the existing Query-by-Example paradigm, logical queries are expressed using categories of similar regions without any starting example region. The set of region category representatives constitutes the “photometric region thesaurus” of the image database. Logical composition of re...

LATEX by Adam Jobson For a family of graphs F closed under subgraphs, and a graph G from F , define a game (G,F) played by Builder and Painter. The game begins with Builder presenting an edge and Painter coloring the edge red or blue. On each turn thereafter, Builder adds another edge to the red-blue colored graph present (adding vertices if needed), so that the new graph, viewed uncolored, is ...

We consider the following two-player game, parametrised by positive integers n and k. The game is played between Painter and Builder, alternately taking turns, with Painter moving first. The game starts with the empty graph on n vertices. In each round Painter colours a vertex of her choice by one of the k colours and Builder adds an edge between two previously unconnected vertices. Both player...
