Bentov's model: the meditating body as a node in a universal oscillating system

AI-generated illustration for Stalking the Wild Pendulum, made with fal.ai (fal-ai/flux-2-pro).

Prompt: A human figure seated in deep meditation, surrounded by concentric rippling wave patterns emanating outward from the body, merging into a vast toroidal universe structure in the background, with subtle grid lines suggesting a universal oscillating field. Style: Detailed digital illustration blending technical schematic linework with painterly atmospheric rendering, as if a scientific textbook were reimagined by a noir graphic novelist. Colour palette of deep midnight blue, charcoal black, and slate grey as foundations, accented with electric teal, bioluminescent green, and cold amber. Lighting is dramatic and directional, suggesting surveillance or laboratory environments — pools of cold light against deep shadow, with occasional glowing circuit-trace highlights. Compositions favour tight framing with layered depth: foreground technical detail dissolving into abstracted background geometry. Detail level is high but purposeful, prioritising legible structure over decorative complexity. Mood is clinical yet ominous, precise yet unsettling. No text, lettering, captions, logos, watermarks or borders unless it is a technical drawing.
