Zoetrope, Thaumatrope, the blinkered glimpsing that is perception, its doors closing upon us. The screens are bigger now than these dashing slots but we don't see any more. Bring together the Zoe (animal or life) plus the Trope (the turning of things)--as George Horner did in 1834--as you've got yourself a "wheel of life." That's what they called it. Good luck.
