PatrickHenry, betty boop and I have been bouncing this around ...

And look what we have to show for it ... an appreciation of Raphael's work. Here's an even bigger, more complete view of the School of Athens.

Thanks, PH, for the link to The School of Athens. Plato is pointing up to indicate the "bird's view," and Aristotle down, to indicate the "frog's." This was the analogy used by Tegmark in his article on multiverses -- I think you've seen it.
