I love this animation. I was impressed by it when I first saw it
  because it metaphorically describes very well how I think about
  the "stitching together" of reality processes that happen within
  us, just in a "lock stitch" form.

  I was so impressed by*it almost two years ago I even had a
  website, "stitchlock" - which I think I let expire, that tried
  to show the 'gist' of my thinking in the most abstract way
  possible: [absurdly of course]

  I have a whole long boring thing I wrote up somewhere with
  consciousness relating it to the lock-stitch but I abandoned it
  when I realized I'd just be ANOTHER middle aged guy thinking
  he's got it "all figured out", so I put it aside to keep
  researching. Then six months later, I was onto my "leaky
  triangles" hypothesis:

  months because I could see I was going to start sounding rather
  kooky if I pursued it further tongue emoticon

  surrounding the "gap" - the "what happens in the gap" and then
  looking up at the one part of the stitching mechanism and then
  the other part of the stitching mechanism from the perspective
  of the hole.

  Yeah, I know it sounds strange. I wish I had decent animation
  skills. smile emoticon
