Ok - who else is as interested in seeing this quilt as I am?

I was contemplating this question of perspective versus
frame. and I came up with a rather simplified conclusion and I'd like to
see if anybody agrees or disagrees with it

A frame is a general, overall way of bracketing the world which is
influenced by actual and mediated experience and represents our taken for
granted assumptions which we use to help us derive meaning from a situation.

Perspective works within this frame as a situational point of view
drawing upon certain aspects of the frame.

Perspective is specific where the frame is general

What d'ya think?
