wave-interference patterns

in holographic photography, patterns created by light waves that converge from different angles: These can be recorded on film and projected into space to create a three-dimensional image. The phenomenon has been invoked as an analogy for the ability of the mind to store spatial information and to reconstruct a three-dimensional image by recall processes.
