Above is essentially a photograph of a Maximum Breakthrough in intellectual history, the Late-Modern era re-decoding of the most archaic formula:

{tree vs. snake} = possibilism vs. eternalism

From Egodeath Yahoo Group, my post some time later recounting/recording, history. Contains book cite re: cover art.
Art on a mixed-wine mushroom-wine kylix “cup” (saucer).
Shows:

• Jason spewed dead from the giant Heimarmene-snake.
• Athena (with snake-fringes and death-face) and owl looks on.
• The rock-sacrificed Ram’s golden fleece of ram of zeus sent by cloud goddess married to king A. The fleece hung in nonbranching ivy-strand quasi-tree. Evil king sent hero Jason to retrieve the dragon-guarded treasure, the ram that saved Prixis but when ram rose, of necessity, sister Helle looked down below the flying ram, she lost her balance and she fell and she drowned in the sea. Prixis sacrificed the ram to Zeus for saving him from [soap opera] being sacrificed to the cloud goddess.. to get rain.
  Jealous cloud goddess wanted her children w/ king A sacrificed by the reluctant king A, then cloud goddess sent Zeus’ ram to rescue the children she wanted sacrificed to provide rain? Fishy story. Research the facts of the matter.

Friday, November 29, 2013, 7:42 pm (the day after Thanksgiving): I discovered that tree vs. snake means Possibilism vs. Eternalism, upon seeing the right half of this painting in black & white, together with the cover of Fritz Graf’s book Greek Mythology: An Introduction, which shows the kylix/mushroom-wine saucer showing Jason spewed dead from the giant Heimarmene-snake, while Athena (with snake-fringes and death-face) and owl looks on, with ram golden fleece hung in nonbranching ivy-strand quasi-tree. This was one of my top 3 all-time breakthroughs.

The Cover Image of Fritz Graf’s book Greek Mythology: An Introduction

Shows the kylix/mushroom-wine saucer showing Jason spewed dead from the giant Heimarmene-snake, while Athena (with snake-fringes and death-face) and owl looks on, with ram golden fleece hung in nonbranching ivy-strand quasi-tree.

This was one of my top 3 all-time breakthroughs.

The Eve image on left half of left page, combined with Jason image, for completing/ recognizing/ decoding {tree vs. snake}, as a way to further condense my book cover image design around 2012 with
quadrants:

• egoic left, transcendent right;
• upper left quadrant image: king in tree?
  upper = world model?
  lower = control-agent model?
  2011: quadrants: from king steering in tree to snake frozen in rock.
  2013: simple contrast of 2: {tree vs. snake}. eliminate {king} and {rock}, it is sufficient to abbr instead of
  {king steering} in {tree} to
  {snake} frozen in {rock}
  or whatever my quadrants were, you can make-do with abbr into 2 items insetad of 4:
• {tree} to
• {snake}

math’ly you could do:

{tree} to
{rock}
ie change mental worldmodel from {tree} to {rock}. the contrast {tree vs. rock}. <– symm world-vs-world model compar’n.
gnosis = change your model of world from A to B

{king steering} to
{snake}
ie gnosis = change mental worldmodel from {king steering} to {snake}. <– symm agent-vs-agent compar’n
gnosis = change your model of ctrl-agent from A to B

{king steering}
{rock}
ie gnosis = change mental worldmodel from {king steering} to {rock}.
