Product

What i have understand from this 3rd lecture is that product must contains all the following elements:

• form-space
• nodes-paths
• illusion
  
  

And all the elements are related with each other and it start with a form. A form must contains all the following attributes:

SPACE has a relationship with a NODE-PATH..

A node-path will combine with each other and will produce a SPACE. As example, we can see from the picture below:

Node is combine with a path and it produce a SPACE..

From the lecture, I also understand that product also can be a illusion..

Illusion is defined as a perception, as of visual stimuli (optical illusion), that represents what is perceived in a way different from the way it is in reality
