green circle is not really the exact opposite of red cube though.

The assignation of meaning is, from a certain viewpoint, essentially random, subject to the vagaries of history, immigration, culture, language and even fads. Thus, the sounds "red cube" could just as easily signify "green circle" in our minds should we choose to redesignate the corresponding neural impulses which produce the recognitive classification of the essential meaning of red, green, cube and circle. What you fail to realize, however, is that I have similarly recogitated the corresponding impulse to alphabetic and spectral stimuli, such that while most might read "red cube" inside a "green circle," I read "peuce spiral" inside a "chartreuse triangle," which means this picture makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, spiral, triangle? What's up with that? ;)
