## panopticon.js
// The Panopticon is a type of prison building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in 1785.
// The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the incarcerated being able to tell whether they are being watched,
// thereby conveying what one architect has called the "sentiment of an invisible omniscience."
// Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example."
