Back in the late 90's, an astrophysicist whose name I can't recall posited that pattern recognition derived from the visual arts was essential for scientists to filter the mountains of data that they routinely processed. He recommended that science students be required to take art classes. Years later, I was encouraged when STEM + Art = STEAM programs began to emerge. We still don't have enough of them.
Thank you for sharing Arnheim with us! What you articulate is similar to what I have observed via the daily discipline of meditation. Insights originate as intuitive-like images and we translate the images into verbal or written language.

Love it!
