Navigation is the planned action that is taken between spaces, between zones.
When the eye comes to rest - in dwell-time - it engages with a communicative artefact (say, a painting or a page) it then oscillates between a fixed point of interest and the search for another object.
The visual sense - grasps, speculates and questions: finds the necessary cues and clues to create meaning or value. It simultaneously gathers certainty, makes distinctions whilst it finds answers to the very questions that it seeks.
In truth, the eye is very rarely at rest. If it were, we would take in nothing.
