First image from the book and a cover image in some editions. It's actually the letter'l' from the typeface I used in the book,but I used it here because I thought that it looked a little like a wave form or a passageway between one point and another. It's coloured what I thought of as 'oscilloscope green'.

I used this image because I wanted there to be a graphic simplicity to some parts of this book that would explode or intensify as we 'looked closer' into much more richly detailed nuances and colours – like the difference between a Newtonian, mechanical physics, and the complexity of more contemporary forms, or the differences between introverted and extroverted experience, (or between different ways of looking at both types of experience) – where the apparently limited, defined or impoverished changes into something else when we simply look at it a bit more closely.

I'll pick some of these themes up as the book develops, and there are other parallel dichotomies (wave/particle being an important one, as well as self/other, alone/universal)

Here I just wanted to set out a feeling of graphic simplicity and begin to pull together some of the consistent forms of the book (the typeface is continous throughout, and the colour is used to indicate signals/quanta/waves as well as type. I'm not actually consistent with the colour of the type, but certainly the colour often indicates something that is part of the 'story')
