<p>
The cover image presents a visual illusion of motion. When you focus on the
central point and move the page toward or away from your eyes, the concentric
circles appear to rotate.
</p>
<p>
This reflects a central theme of this work: perception shapes what we think of as
“reality.” In this illusion, motion exists only in our minds. We perceive, we do
not directly know; our brains construct experience.
