There's been some recent popular discussion of perception and integrating perceptions in a visual continuity field. A patchwork of perceptions used to construct a workable visual model.
What then comes of noticed change within the continuity? Dare we say narrative?

Is narrative a construct to associate meaning to dynamic elements in the continuity field?
okay what's your story?

Re: continuity and narrative
There's a beautiful example of continuity in action to make images using circles and the corners of a cube. For want of a link to that image - here's simpler example the Kaniza Square: Seeing 3D in 2D [Key Stages 2-4] where a sense of continuity adds edges and a boundry for us.
Where some see a puzzle, others see a question about what permits a thing to seem puzzling. For example; what makes a Necker cube out of a hexagon? It only seems to be in code until you see the thing you were ignoring or make a connection between things you could see but not perceive as related.
What permits a thing to be unseen in context even though it is acting and the results of its actions are only addressed in a different context? Or conversely what critical items must be in place for a thing to summon a context? In the case of our craft things seem mundane that are not - offering a gap between what is modeled by the audience and what we put in place.

Re: continuity and narrative
The perceptual and cognitive psych folks have a term and model that looks directly applicable to magic - beyond attention or change blindness - "a perception field" that establishes and maintains a sense of continuity to a model of reality.
Using that model; what of things which do change or act within that model? ... is that what we call narrative? What makes a story or explanation out of perceptions. Which way is the figure spinning?
If there's something acting to make continuity over space and narrative over time... that's where we do our thing

Re: continuity and narrative
Here's a link for the image of the cube created by implicit continuity.
https://patternsthatconnext.wordpress.c ... ame-thing/
There was a TED talk where this the Necker cube illustration was used to show that two more ways of seeing the cube are possible when one sees the circles as "holes" as if the white area is a slice of swiss cheese.
I'll keep looking for a link to the video where a Kanizsa type figure is created on a board with rotating circles.
