What was Boccioni's theory of "simultaneity"?

Answered in Umberto Boccioni's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My concept of simultaneity sought to represent the interconnectedness of sensory experiences and perceptions. In a single moment, we perceive not just what is directly in front of us, but also echoes of the past, premonitions of the future, and the sensations from our surroundings. My paintings, like 'The City Rises,' attempt to merge these disparate elements – the movement of bodies, the blur of speed, the noise of industry – into a unified, dynamic visual field that reflects the totality of experience.
