"ge·stalt: A physical, biological, psychological, or symbolic configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that its properties cannot be derived from a simple summation of its parts" (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gestalt).
Above is the deffinition of 'Gestalt' from dictionary.com. In laymen terms, what I think they are saying is that a gestalt is an image-physical, biological, psychological, symbolic..anything really- in which the pattern is so unified that one can only see it as a whole, not the individual pieces of said pattern or image. Maybe upon closer inspection they could but at first glance can not.
