Autoscopy is the experience in which the individual while believing himself to be awake sees his or her body position outside of his body. Autoscopy comes from the ancient Greek αὐτός ("self") and σκοπός ("watcher"). Experiences - are characterized by the presence of the following three factors: ・disembodiment, an apparent location of the self outside one's body; ・impression of seeing the world from an elevated and distanced visuo-spatial perspective or extracorporeal, but egocentric visuo-spatial perspective; ・impression of seeing one's own body from this perspective (autoscopy).

In 2024, John Vines, a Boston neurosurgeon, ran a fully conscious Copy of himself in a crude Virtual Reality. Taking slightly less than three hours of real time (pulse racing, hyperventilating, stress hormones elevated), the first Copy's first words were: 'This is like being buried alive. I've changed my mind. Get me out of here.' His original obligingly shut him down.

Hugh Ferriss: The Lure of The City, 1925
Many people seems to be mistaking the name of this drawing as "The Metropolis of Tomorrow," but the title of the drawing is "The Lure of The City." The Metropolis of Tomorrow is the name of a book where this drawing appears, which was published in 1929. This comment may seem trivial to certain people, but thinking of Hugh who was disappointed by works of architects in New York at that time, and decided not to work as an architect but as a renderer, it is important to know that this drawing was titled as a "lure" of the city, and not as "tomorrow" of the city or any cities.

Charles Eisen: Vitruvian Primitive Hut, frontispiece of "Essai sur l'Architecture" by Marc-Antoine Laugier, 1755 (2nd edition)
The well-known allegorical engraving of the Vitruvian primitive hut. Laugier considered that a hut (architecture) structured only by pillers, beams (entablature) and gables (pediment) is the genuine norm of classical architecture.
