Abstract

Abstract A round tower can look square from a distance. A white wall can look red if illuminated by a red light. And if one took these appearances at face value and believed the tower to be square and the wall to be red, one would be deceived. Thus, in the passive mode, where one is deceived, there need be no intentionality in deception. This might be marked by use of the termmisleading; in these cases appearances are misleading. Similarly, when the Viceroy butterfly mimics the appearance of the Monarch, it signals to the Blue‐Jay that it is bad to eat and its appearance is, for this reason, misleading.
