	Phi phenomenon
		The phi phenomenon is a perceptual illusion described by Max Wertheimer in his 1912 Experimental Studies on the Seeing of Motion, in which a disembodied perception of motion is produced by a succession of still images.
		The discovery of the phi phenomenon was a significant milestone in Gestalt psychology.
		Phi is not Beta – An explanation of the difference between the beta and phi phenomena, with online demonstrations of both, and a stronger version of phi than that found by Wertheimer.

	Phi And (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Separately, the brighter, Phi And A, seems to be a fifth magnitude (4.54) B6 subgiant, while the fainter, Phi And B, is a sixth magnitude (5.55) B9 dwarf (the magnitudes uncertain and scaled to fit to the measure of the combined stars).
		Phi And A -- like Gamma Cas and Zeta Tauri -- is a "B- emission" ("Be") type star, one with a circulating circumstellar disk that radiates emission lines (the origins of which are not at all clear).
		Phi And A's observed rotation speed is relatively low, however, only 81 kilometers per second, implying that the rotation axis is rather well tilted toward us (such speeds being projections against the sky and therefore lower limits).

		Phi (upper case Φ or $\Phi$ ; lower case φ, φ, $\phi$ or $\varphi$ ) is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet.
		In spherical coordinates phi is usually used to represent the angle to the z axis (mathematics convention) or the angle to the x axis (physics convention).
		The number of phases in a power system in electrical engineering, for example 1Φ for single phase, 3Φ for three phase.

	Phi
		Phi (upper case Φ, lower case φ or φ) is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet.
		In engineering, the diameter symbol is often referred to as "phi".
		This symbol is used to indicate the diameter of a circular section, for example 14 means the diameter of the circle is 14 units.

		The phi phenomenon is a perceptual illusion, whereby two ormore still images are combined by the brain into surmised motion.
		The classic phi phenomenon experiment involves a viewer or audience watching a screen, upon which the experimenter projectstwo images in succession.
		The phi phenomenon can also create the illusion of motion toward and away from an audience.

	the phi (Ø) phenomenon
		On whatever level, the motion of the small object of desire, forever unsymbolizable but often materializable (Zizek: "Coke is it!" — the quilting of signifiers set sliding by their "accidental" artifactual properties) is the engine of desire that chiastically drives narrative, imminent experience.
		Note: Parenthetically, it should be noted that the vast majority of those who use the term, "phi phenomenon," are in fact referring to the beta phenomenon.
		Both terms were coined by Max Wertheimer, in his 1912 work, "Experimental Studies on the Seeing of Motion." The phi phenomenon should properly refer to the apparent movement of "background space" with the off-on successive flashes of (typically) fixed points or dots of light.

		Movement without the lines being experienced at all, he called "pure phi." Although the name was new, the phenomenon itself had been known for many years.
		Whatever it was that Wertheimer explained to Kohler and Koffka in 1911 about his experiment on phi phenomenon, it was not the full blown Gestalt theory.17 That what was said seemed to them to be a challenge to the established order, there is no doubt.
		In the phi phenomenon, Wertheimer wrote, the subjects were perceiving a whole, or Gestalt, not the isolated elements.

		Tension between Ø and R can be purposefully developed in the phenomenon known as “anamorphosis” — the co-presence within a single image of two distinct and often contrasting “interpretations.” Anamorphosis requires that Ø materialize itself as a “competing” R, rather than remaining in the background or invisible.
