I didn’t read the rest of the article before posting. It would be good to see the second article. Somehow none of this seems over-complicated - sure would be good if everyone could come to some sort of agreement on what perspective actually is, and what does and does not affect it!

What's the point of citing an article that you didn't even read, and then asking questions that it clearly answers? Read the article you provided for the rest of us to read!

Right, to move the camera and maintain the same distance, you have to pick an object and move in an arc from that object, and your distance from other objects will definitely change, but will not all objects retain their same spatial relationships? I’m thinking that moving the camera, while maintaining the same distance, mainly changes the framing.
Disclaimer: I do not pretend to be a deep thinker on this subject!

Think about walking in a circle around the main subject. The surrounding objects will move toward or away from the camera.

I was only concerned with the definition of perspective, which I quoted, and that was only what my question was about.

Sure, you get a different viewpoint, and the objects’ position in the scene will have changed.
