Symmetry, Causality, Mind

In this investigation of the psychological relationship between shape and time, Leyton (psychology, Rutgers U.) argues that shape is used by the mind to recover the past and as such it forms a basis for memory. He elaborates a system of rules by which the conversion to memory takes place and presents a number of detailed case studies in perception, linguistics, art, and even political subjugation that support these rules.
