	Thaumatrope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The invention of the thaumatrope is usually credited to John Ayrton Paris, an English doctor, who used one to demonstrate persistence of vision to the Royal College of Physicians in London in 1824.
		Examples of common thaumatrope pictures include a bare tree on one side of the disk, and its leaves on the other, or a bird on one side and a cage on the other.
		Thaumatropes were one of a number of simple, mechanical optical toys that used of persistence of vision.

	Thaumatrope
		Thaumatropes were the first of many optical toys, simple devices that continued to provide animated entertainment until the development of modern cinema.
		A thaumatrope is a small disc, held on opposite sides of its circumference by pieces of string.
		The phenakistoscope was a great improvement on the thaumatrope, creating one moving image from several stills, and became the first optical toy to create a true illusion of motion.

		The thaumatrope is somewhat magical because it creates illusions dependent on persistence of vision.
		You might also notice as the thaumatrope spins that the illusion is the strongest near its center line, or axis, where the pictures are most continuously visible.

		A thaumatrope is an optical toy that shows the persistence of an impression that the eyes see even after the object is withdrawn.
		I myself did a thaumatrope but I had a fish on one side and seaweed and bubbles on the other side.
		This is how a thaumatrope works, if it were turning and we didn't have persistence of vision we would only see one image at a time, but with persistence of vision we can trick the eye into seeing our previous example a rabbit beside a cow.

	Thaumatrope
		The thaumatrope was invented by an English physician named J. Paris in eighteen-twenty-six.
		An image produced by the retina in response to stimulation lingers for one-tenth to one-twentieth of a second.
		Physiologists call this "the principle of the persistence of vision." The thaumatrope fools your eye by switching images faster than the tenth-of-a-second limit, thus merging what are in fact two separate images into one visual impression.

		From the 1830s onward, optical toys - such as the phenakistoscope, the zoëtrope and the praxinoscope - were designed to demonstrate or exploit the physical phenomenon of "persistence of vision." John Paris used his thaumatrope as early as 1824 to demonstrate this effect to the Royal College of Physicians.
		John Ayrton Paris invented the thaumatrope in England in 1824 to demonstrate the persistence of vision.
		It consists of one disc with two different images on both sides and a piece of string on either side of the disc.

		Furthermore, I argue that the lack of a substantive doctrine at its core and the resulting high degree of interpretive flexibility does not mean that good faith analysis is unprincipled.
		Thaumatrope analytics can be defended when the concepts underlying the categories are related, and the good faith Thaumatrope is grounded on the interconnectedness of the duties of care and loyalty.
		The result is a rhetorical device that permits the judiciary to respond to situations of scandal and crisis on an as-needed basis without upsetting the long-term balance between authority and accountability.

	SSRN-The Good Faith Thaumatrope: A Model of Rhetoric in Corporate Law Jurisprudence by Sean Griffith
		Good faith is an old notion in law generally, but it offers to bring significant change to corporate law, including realignment of the business judgment rule and a shift in the traditional balance between board authority and judicial accountability.
		Tracing the development of this new doctrine, the paper argues that good faith operates like a thaumatrope, oscillating between the traditional standards of care and loyalty, lowering the doctrinal hurdles of each without adding any distinct substantive content to the law.
		The paper finds several examples of this rhetorical structure in corporate law history and argues, ultimately, that the good faith thaumatrope is merely the latest such device and is likely to follow a similar evolutionary path.
