A glass of water is it half empty or half full? For my cat neither the one nor the other, for my cat, it is just water, and the world is "like that". The world that is "like that" hardly changed since the Australopithecus, only the view on things changes. There are those who see the glass a half empty and those who has learned that it is half full. They do not agree whereas the glass is the same. One does not distinguish on an image, even in the highest definition, if a glass is half empty or half full. Understanding the others makes call on senses of abstraction, on capacity of being able to imagine what another one sees.

San Pellegrino is an Italian mineral water belonging to the Nestlé group. Drinking it, I feel sensations in disproportion with the objective image of the product, though this recomposed image with more sensation of streaming, rustle, transparency in the green and pressure under the stopper.
