The waves travel their single trajectory, unmoved and unmotivated, encountering multiple others as time allows one instance to precede another and yet another... Pulses coalesce to give rise to what is perceived as a coherent section of reality; the human tendency to encounter such unrequested intersections begs the first-person perspective to place itself at the centre, not only the business of the madman, as the German neurologist studied, but the very essence of the human experience.
