Elaborate.

I'm not obsessing. I'm being a smartass. I can obsess if you want, but I doubt you want that.

neither was I.

You need to question nearly every comment I make, just in case I'm messing with you.

Elaborate.

the human mind has a natural ability to parse images into motion vectors, then correct parities and compare them against movements detected in the organ behind your ear... indeed, dizziness is often caused by stressing the muscles of your eyes when trying to focus on a dynamic object.

Don't worry if you don't understand what parities are. Remove the buzzwords and you'll see the key word: correct. If you see a bunch of straight lines and one crooked one, your mind wil assume you have a vision problem and automatically transform the images to that the line appears to be normal, without bothering the rest of the data. That's right, your brain actually makes it up for you.

The spinning illusion stops as soon as you make sure to line each line up and provide a reference to focus on. Such as modifying the geometry of the radial shapres into expanded rectangles, or adding a grid.

It's the same kind of "best guess" system that allows you to read words that have been spelled incorrectly. The brain is basically a really really really powerful biological computer.
