A Question of Form consists of a uniquely presented combination of text and imagery that reveals hidden patterns of meaningful structure in a wide range of phenomena. It describes how a simple proportion and a familiar shape underlie an interdisciplinary cascade of radical, yet entirely plausible, alternative perspectives. These new perspectives challenge accepted ideas in the sciences, philosophy, and the arts. The lifelong project defies categorization in the context of any conventional field or discipline. The method of exploration consisted of a unique combination of rigorous research and intuitive assessment, which is conveyed in the book through both a narrative of information and the opportunity for direct visual experience. Readers of the book are not expected to have advanced education in any field. The only prerequisite is a willingness to engage with alternative ideas from perspectives that are both analytical and intuitive. The book is constructed in two parts.

Part One is a traditionally structured work of illustrated non-fiction. Part Two is a visually-based presentation that has been constructed in reference to the interdisciplinary context conveyed in Part One. Its goal is to expand and deepen the experience of that context. It attempts to foster a sense of implication that transcends the limitations of logical description. Michael Winkler hopes Part Two will provide an authentic visually based experience that closely mirrors the non-rational aspect of his own experiential journey (a journey that was often driven by intuitively assessed visual content).
