I'm looking it up as we speak. Indeed it is along the lines of what I had in mind when I posed this question: An epistemological argument of the nature of motion, and how our perception of motion relates to the real thing.
More accurately, I want to drive at the realization that there are so many things which we perceive as motion, which actually are not. The wave molloby mentions is a good example. I would contend that there are a myriad of things the mind perceives in this way that are actually illusory, for nothing other than efficiency/simplicity. For it really doesn't matter if the water in a wave is actually moving. If you stand in it, it will take you in the direction it "appears" to be moving.
