 +[{{ paag_cluster.png|a) cluster (or supercluster)\\ b) implied fragment orientation}}]
 +A **cluster** is a patch of perceptually connected pixels which are part of the description of a shape, volume or texture or any other element.
  
 +A cluster may be thought of as a fragment of any element, as a sample of anything, as seen by the eye or as imagined.
 +
 +Shaping and shading a cluster gives direction and orientation to the cluster itself which also serves to give direction and orientation to the element which the cluster aims to help define.
 +
 +Shadow and light on a cluster can be thought of as individual (sub)clusters as well. Single, perceptually separated pixels are not clusters by definition.
