M.C.Escher and his Contemporaries: the Genesis of the Impossible

该项目旨在为围绕M.C.埃舍尔发展起来的20世纪不可能图片运动制作一部概念史，对不可能图片的种类进行分类，特别是确定谁发现了什么的优先顺序。这需要几何结构，以及严格的逻辑和数学分析。该项目将采用不一致理论中可用的新技术。这项工作的意义在于，它展示了不一致内容中可用的丰富概念资源。《预期结果》是一本面向普通读者的书，发表在逻辑和数学期刊上的技术文章，以及对人类理解不一致视觉内容的能力的扩展理解。

The project aims to produce a conceptual history of the twentieth-century impossible pictures movement which developed around M.C.Escher, to classify kinds of impossible pictures, and particularly to establish priorities over who discovered what. This requires geometrical construction, and rigorous logical and mathematical analysis. The project will employ the novel techniques available within the theory of inconsistency. The significance of this work is that it demonstrates the rich conceptual resources available within inconsistent content. Expected outcomes are a book aimed at the general reader, technical articles in logic and mathematics journals, and a expanded understanding of our human ability to grasp inconsistent visual contents.
