it is an optical illusion not a compulsive habit, like reading mania. the best knwon example would be movies. another example is the illusion of motion of sequential traffic signs -often called a (Rabbit) from dog-track usage, or the incorrectly termed running lights around theatre marquees which create an illusion of a sort of conveyor belt like motion when in fact the whole thing is stationary and the lights merely flash on and off in a controlled pattern, thus the optic nerve persists in seeing this thing as a conveyor-belt like motion, but it is standing still in reality. these lights are correctly called theatre marquee lights or circline or circle-lights, not Running Lights. Running olights are operational night lights on ships, from port to starboard, Red port) White (overhead, mast heads) and Green- Starboard. maritime traffic rules are incumbent on the position angles of these lights- see and be seen. The colors are simlar to the Italian Flag.
