“Something clicked in my brain || mind when I came to this colour”. (This is a gesture.) But did you know from the clicking that it was red. Supposing looking at this colour your eyes opened wider & you gave a jerk, – was it by its producing this reaction that you recognized
the colour as being red? I saw a particular colour concentrated on it & the word red came without tension. Indeed this is the phenomenon we call recognition but we call it that because it happens under circumstances where we have other criteria for saying that we've recognized the object.
