Genuine and fake

The real test is for one to invent the very image one must grow into, and not secretly borrow this image from some other source. But also: This image does not arise out of nothing, but processed out of the images given by others, by past, and even by the entire history of mankind. The more encompassing and rich the number and kinds of sources, the more genuine is the output. And for one who passes the test, this processing yields a whole which is not the sum of its parts.
