520    This book provides an interdisciplinary introduction to 
       the notion of fractal time, starting from scratch with a 
       philosophical and perceptual puzzle. How subjective 
       duration varies, depending on the way we embed current 
       content into contexts, is explained. The complexity of our
       temporal perspective depends on the number of nestings 
       performed, i.e. on the number of contexts taken into 
       account. This temporal contextualization is described 
       against the background of the notion of fractal time. Our 
       temporal interface, the Now, is portrayed as a fractal 
       structure which arises from the distribution o.
