The Image is one of the lesser-known cognitive sources of man that has been seriously explored in various scientific fields today. The exclusive attention and focus of traditional epistemologists on propositional cognition is one of the obstacles to cognition and research in the context of Image, because Image is a non-propositional cognition. The basic question of this Essay is: what are the characteristics of an Image and in what process is it formed and how can a network analysis of an image be obtained? The findings of the present Research are as follows: First. The Image is conceptually equal to the three meanings of "imagination", "image" and "model or pattern", but there is no practical difference between these meanings, so to differentiate between them and to avoid semantic confusion, two suggestions are made; Second. Eight attributes were enumerated for the Image, from which it was known that the Image is cognitive and at the same time hidden, the Image is the product of a complex and fluid mental process that is both evolving and perfecting, and the source of change in the various dimensions of thought, behavior, and action; Third. The Image is not related to the level of human imagination. for the analysis of images we need a network of components such as imagination and imaginary designs, structure, and mind. In imagining the future and imaginary Shemas, the imagination acts as an environment for guiding, reproducing, or modifying the image, and the image as a measure of mind control.
