A term used to describe seeing a moving object not as an individual entity in motion but in serial, momentarily stationary positions. If the observer moves his finger across his field of vision, he not only sees his finger moving as a single object, but also sees the various individual movements needed to make up the complete movement.

Illicit narcotics, usually opiates are placed upon a piece of flat tin foil, and then heated on the underside of the foil. When smoke begins to appear, the foil is tilted, so the narcotic will slide. Not only does this produce a large amount of smoke, it will leave a black line on the foil, essentially "tracing" a path of waste.
