AOL/S: Virtually synonymous with the previously considered term “AOL Matching”, AOL/Signal occurs when an AOL produced by the viewer’s analytic mental machinery almost exactly matches the site, and the viewer can to some extent “look” through the AOL image to perceive the actual site. The advantage of AOL/S in Stage IV is that it allows the information to be used without calling a break. One can ask, “What is this trying to tell me about the site?” As an example, the viewer may perceive the Verazzano Narrows Bridge when in fact the site is actually the George Washington Bridge.
[In Stage 4], AOLs frequently become closely associated with the site and may lead directly to “AOL matching”, or AOL/Signal, as it is categorized in the matrix […].

AOL From The Signal (A/S) – While A/S is not necessarily the site, it is not a true AOL. AOL from the signal is a hazy image which is still considered pre-visual. lt is an analytical construct of the viewers mind. These A/S will be reported in the A/S column. No break will be called because the viewer should continue to participate in this signal. The viewer must be be aware this A/S can become an AOL and be ready to transfer it into the AOL column. Example: If the site is a radio tower, but the viewer receives an A/S of the Eifel Tower, the signal is an A/S instead of an AOL. lt is trying to show the viewer the site “looks like” the Eiffel Tower.
