Irrespective of whether an image T' is received distantly or communicatively, it turns into a Gestalt ( T' à GT) when it becomes adequate to its object T. On the practice side it means that T' provides successful enough use of T. On the theory side – if T' becomes identical to metaphysical body TÂof object T (T' = TÂ). So, a Gestalt of a square (mentioned in section 1.4, page 17) is a metaphysical square irrespective of whether a perception object is constructed from matches, from steel rails or from traces of a slate pencil on a paper.
Gestalt GT can be received either (1) at once, as one-stage correct copying of TÂ (as "comprehension", "inspiration"), or (2) as result of part-by-part accumulation of proper traits of TÂ, included in T' in the cropped/skim [aufheben ïî Ãåãåëþ (1770-1831)], concentrated form. So (2), a square Gestalt includes certainly such traits as the central and four axial symmetries.
In this (2) case Gestalt GT arises by a jump in the moment when the last element of T', necessary for its completeness (its adequacy), is added to an incomplete T', when a sum/a complete set of isolated copies Ti' of metaphysicum components Ti  of separate elements Ti of object T, becomes a synthesis of these elements.
So, while each of 13 lines (fig. 6) is reflected as a separate/independent perception image – this drawing remains to be a set of lines on a flat paper sheet. As soon as separate images of separate lines join/conjugate (losing their independence) into united image T', the drawing gets the third measurement, and sticks out of the sheet plane (or deepens into it).

Identity of T' and TÂ enables to estimate any subtleties and nuances of object T.
