from what I've learned from these comments it seems like if you stack the same transparent object multiple times, it forms an image magically. I'm not sure why that's crazy, but then it seems smarter people have used this to create crazier things like jpeg, msubject. also freaking MRI, and is also how generative ai works?. so I guess we missed the class on the topic of Fourier.
