THE TYCHO ILLUSION: TWO AGES AND TWO ILLUSIONS
Commentary on Margolis on Cognitive-Illusion

Abstract

Cognitive illusions depend on the framework within which the components of the illusion are interpreted, and such frameworks are to a large extent learned. Hence the Tycho illusion consists of two potential illusions, depending on the framework adopted. Contemporaries of Tycho would "see" the illusion differently in some respects from the way we would. This suggests certain testable hypotheses about the nature of the Tycho illusion which are supported by empirical evidence.
