The book has 108 chapters, some named with the precise number and name of the move. We are observing the mind of the performer, sometimes it is focused on the move, sometimes it is in meditation or feeling, sometimes it is caught up in the Tao. Concurrent, simultaneous, the time of the book is the history of the Tai Chi student as he progresses from Beginner to Journeyman to Master. These levels are called Frames, The first level is Fixed Frame. The second section of the book Knight of a 1000 eyes takes the player into a much higher level of mechanical sophistication. The notion of Lively frame has to do with the Tai Chi player becoming more attuned to his body, and since he already knows the form, he can play with it, relax into it. . The image for this section has the yin yang symbol become more prominent, but is is still hiding behind the image of the fractal, which is par excellence the modern understanding of Chaos and the Tao, The image says, that at the same time that we are become more accomplished having a firm, foundation, the root into gravity, from where to stand, we are also allowing ourselves to feel more the universal Source behind creation.   The third section of Knight of a 1000 eyes takes the player into universal Tao. This section is called Changing Frame, and its Image is the I Ching. This section of the book is intended as a modern commentary of that ancient classic. (More commentary has been written about the I Ching than any other book.) This section is an homage to the primitive mind, depicted in the I Ching describing a science of the concrete , at a time when before there was probability theory, when omens and signs were integrated into life. This is the concept of the synchronic in Jung. We see the human psychology emerging from the bifurcating human neurology, itself a fractal used to deconstruct the world through the comparison of opposites to thread a path through distinctions. This third section of the book takes us into a third layer of time, the eternal time of the Tao, the great autopoeic form of the fractal.
