This episode of conditions utilizes the famous old woman/young woman dual image. I used this image in a recent paper I gave that explored Daniel C. Dennets concept of multiple drafts of perception. In the paper I tried to argue that our mind can hold open simultaneously different versions of time experience.

hopefully you know what i mean. :) That a 'movie' more reflects reality and is not a frozen photograph and we naturally hold multiple and conflicting resolutions of images in our heads all the time.
I sort of agree and disagree at the same time. In my paper I used the dual image as a first step: I then used T.S. Eliot's poem 'Prurock' as an example of temporally extending this phenomena. The conflicting rhythms of that poem is easier to read than to speak because in speaking it you must commit to particular cadences and the poem itself resists easy classification. In reading it, however, the unconscious mind automatically produces multiple cadence structures, and by flipping from one 'draft' to another as read you perform minor revisions that doesn't always fit in with the previous draft. Dennett's point is that we are largely unaware of these revisions, even though they may sequentially rearrange information to make the new 'draft' fit. This phenomenon is more difficult to identify in temporally orientated phenomena because time itself presses the need to move on. So I think that moving phenomena is a lot closer to a tic-tack-toe analogy. It's a bit like the movement of the eyes: quick, darting and fragmented: even through we perceive it to be calm and steady.
love the sound

Much of the Romance Novel that the Library sort of feeds (OMegg) is concerened with issues of time and space and I suppose String theory and relativity in as much as one half of the story is set in Switzerland during the build up to the firing of the Cern Large Hadron Collider
THe other half is set in brooklyn in the months after the fall of the twin towers.
I've kind of hit on the idea that the characters can sort of Vonnegut style leap from place to time to race and back as they are always just he and she.
Wonder if you'd like to make something for it?
