Poerma Pedagogico IV bridges the conceptual, the abstract, and the representational. The regularity of Kuitca's system is disrupted by his tendency to layer the grids on top of one another in an irregular fashion. The misalignment o the grids creates a flicker-type, generating and optical and spatial maze fom which the eye struggles to escape.
