Preferred term

seeing as (perception)  

Definition

  • Seeing as refers to the experience of perceiving the same object in two or more distinct ways (for example, Jastrow's duck-rabbit picture, which looks like a duck when seen with a horizontal orientation and looks like a rabbit when seen with a vertical one). One might look at this figure and not see a duck in it or not see a rabbit in it. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Seeing as]
