Danish term or phrase: sammenlignende billeddannelse
The philosopher Soeren Kirkegaard

http://www.sk.ku.dk/citater.asp

and the humorist Robert Storm Pedersen (Storm P.)

http://www.jernesalt.dk/stormp-essay.asp

both refer to the idea of

"sammenlignende billeddannelse i ubevogtede oejeblikke"

I really struggle to translate "sammenlignende billeddannelse" and consider simply writing "linked picture formation" or "comparative picture formation" but is there a better translation as I would not like to oversimplify this translation too much.

I am very sorry, but I cannot reply to messages since I am no longer a member of ProZ, but I would appreciate your help on this very much.

Thank you in anticipation/Paa forhaand tak for hjaelpen
