Symmetry, Causality, Mind
The extraordinary book Symmetry, Causality, Mind by Michael Leyton (MIT
Press) is now available in paperback. In this investigation of the
psychological relationship between shape and time, Leyton argues
compellingly 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
lengthy studies of paintings to support these rules. You can find out
more about this remarkable book at
