Fig.2.

Formation of discordance.

(a) An elementary conception is described by a gaussoid.
(b) The addition of another gaussoid results in a shift of the original image.
(c) This modification contains the quantity of information dependent on the distance between the conceptions.

There is a low level of discordance in images that show little difference in pitch. Conceptions that are far apart also do not interact, which makes it possible to combine several planes or textural layers in the same work of art (e.g. areas [a] and [b] in Fig.2c).
