Wow! That illusions bit is awesome, because...all of a sudden it makes it all make sense.

I'm wondering what puts us in "moving forwards" mode, still. Maybe just the fact that the radiating lines are so long and they don't have any boundaries, and normally seeing a corner or something that's stationary is what puts us in "not moving" mode.

Isn't it?? I don't pretend to have any concept of the why/how, but the what is so cool!
