Richard Wolfgang Semon

    Imagine any melody you know well, say the beginning of a movement of a symphony of Beethoven. The melody will be recognized as the same even if you hear it in a different key. A picture you know well will be recognized as the same if you see a small photograph of it. Two pictures, one in red and one in blue, are also the samepicture.
    Here we meet another great difficulty of parallelism as conceived mechanically, and at the same time we meet the problem of individualized stimuli or form-stimuli (Gestaltreize-Ehrenfels), which is much discussed nowadays, and which will occupy us at greater length later on.
    According to parallelism the first hearing or seeing of the melody or the picture would impress the brain in a certain definite way, so as to make a definite engramma (Semon) upon it, and the process of recognition, of saying "the same," would depend on the stimulation of this very engramma. But the stimulus must engrave another [p124] engramma on the brain, if it is offered the second time on a very different scale, be it musically or geometrically or with regard to color !

(Hans Driesch, The Crisis in Psychology, London, Princeton, 1925, pp. 123-4).

Comment A photograph of a picture is not the picture ; 'the same' may be the form of the design, etc. and the 'sameness' is only approximate. WPT.
