How about elephants ?
Painting is an imaginary manipulation, which requires longer term insight into the future (planning horizon / temporal depth / column sequence length). That would necessitate holding a larger complex long term set of activations, which in a loop refresh/itterative development process, is this “part” of what we label conciousness ? They understand a far greater temporal complexity (than say cats and dogs) and I summise this is all down to the working space in the brain (size of activation pool within PFC / temporal lobe).
Objective fact - the painting resembles reality.
What aspect of the painting could be SC vs OC ?
