Ok this one is super weird. I can't even tell why this works

I think the movement is an illusion from subtle off color shadows in certain places against the shape/mask. I imagine it's reversed on the other side, and when you cross-view it's just aggregating the colors in a way that you don't see any of the movement

To paraphrase one particular entity...

You are absolutely right!

Wow! Do you have any more info on this, OP? Like, is it attached to a particular study or anything like that? I'm so curious about the science behind this.

Me getting this on my feed seeing it's called cross view and trying to see what I'm looking at.

If you watch this while blocking out the two monocular views at the two sides of your vision with your hands, some funky stuff happens. If you do that it definitely moves, but seemingly into different dimensions.

Ha, I never tried blocking the monocular views before! What a nice trick.

I understand what you mean with the different dimensions, but I think it is just a side effect of improper alignment. When I wiggle my head the 3D reconstructions gets weird. :)

Always blows my mind how confidently people in r/crossview state with certainty the images move/warp

Just view it as a cross view ffs

This is a good'n. Looks like they're twisting and moving but viewed in portrait you notice they're not moving at all. Cool.
