What is necessary for the Ames room illusion to work?

Why does the Ponzo illusion work?
Our visual system learns the "angles in" (closer) and "angles out" (further away) configuration of rectangular objects such as a room, and/or our visual system learns "arrow in" (closer) and "fan out" (further away)
Perceptual visual organisation dictates size and shape constancies.
Tricks our brain into presuming that the upper of the two lines must be longer, by overlaying two identical lines over a diminishing series of converging lines, like train tracks.
All of the above
