Ouroboros
- First known representation -
on the shrines enclosing
the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun
(1341 BC – 1323 BC).

Yin Yang Symbol
(Tai Chi Diagram, Taijitu)
Some people may acknowledge it
as one of the symbols of Taoism.
Taijitu was introduced around the
11th century (Song).
Ref 1 (Yuan)
Ref 2 (He tu)
Ref 3 (Ming)
Ref 4 (modern)
Please see the symbol in Ref 1 is still
represented by concentric circles.

By the way,
why is Ouroboros connected to
concentric circles or spirals?
Well due to its
insatiable appetite and
forever growth,
Ouroboros is constantly spinning.
It is a wheel.
So is Yin Yang.
.
Quantum Yin Yang?
.
Palmier in the air?
Spiral

Then is there any symbolic difference
between concentric circles and spirals?

How about the colors used in
the Yin Yang symbols in the
Roman Notitia Dignitatum?
Do they mean anything?
They must do...
Pigments had always been
precious in the past.
Dyeing techniques highly valued too.
.
"Dated to the 5th century AD, these
Roman shield patterns are the earliest
known depictions of the symbol...
The symbol has been known in the
Romano-Celtic context for centuries."

Please take a look at the the evolvement
of the flag of (South) Korea.
Which may lead to the
intriguing development regarding
Christianity in Korea
after WWII especially.
.
And Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음).
Koreans invented their own alphabets,
Hangul, in the 15th century.
Alphabets could be viewed as
a symbol of Romanization.
A seed ingrained
as far as 600 years ago.
.
Do as the Romans do.

No wonder K-Pop, K-Idol, K-Drama,
K-Beauty, K-food...
are so popular around the world.

Duality

- Zarathustra
- The Ouroboros and Taurus sign
(upside down) in
the symbol of Zoroastrianism
- Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Pendulum
"The pendulum swing manifests
in everything."
.
"Everything in the universe
moves in a cyclical, back-and-
forth, or "pendulum-like" motion,
flowing between two poles."
~ Principle of Rhythm
.
The pendulum metaphor in
Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf.
Countless are the pendulums.
Infinite are the oscillations.
.
Duality →
Complexity →
Equilibrium
.
Maybe that's why a controlling power
always starts with cutting the input
and output of a system, e.g. censorship.
- To reduce the complexity/variety.
.
And by instilling fear and despair
in to the echo chamber to set off
stress response mechanism.
- To freeze/paralyze the oscillation
back and forth eventually.
.
The oscillation of a pendulum may be
viewed as the flow of life/love energy.
The reason the pendulum only gets
a piece of cake is...
gravity?

Yin is Yang's handle.
Yang is Yin's handle.
Nikola Tesla - Electricity (+ -)
Edward Leedskalnin - Magnetism (N S)

.
If we want to manipulate time,
we probably need to find its handle...
.
One possibility may be
consciousness.
The concentration of consciousness -
Attention.
.
When we pay attention to time,
time seems to go so slow.
When we pay no attention to time,
time seems to go so fast.
.
A-time-tion.
Handle(r) for time?

Yin + Yang
Symbiosis:
Fibonacci sequence (A + B)
.
Binary + Symbiosis:
Cellular Automata (Black + White)
.
Math is numbers.
The ultimate form of "abstraction".
.
How do humen use
Math to mimic Life?
Life needs:
- Input and Output
- Rules
- Loops(recursions)
.
Actually Math is Life
because Math is Drawing:)
Because Energy is Drawing.

A + B or Black + White
is like input and output.
Both Fibonacci sequence and
Cellular automata follow
certain rules in loops =
A self-generating system.
.
A self-growing Net(Matrix).
One of the Nets of numbers.
.
Life?
So Life (growing) is like
calculation (Fibonacci sequence)
or computation (Cellular automata).
.
The calculation/computation
keeps the net(matrix) growing.
Thus Math can predict future
or the unknown.
.
But growing/generating by what rules?
Both are based on "Symbiosis".
Plus sign. A cross.
Yin and Yang.
And the offspring.
The "rule of Three".
.
Wait... Symbiosis?
Suppose plus sign means
cooperation. And magic(emergence)
is spontaneously generated
in both systems. 1 + 1 > 2
.
- Fibonacci sequence
Rules spotted by the observation of Nature.
- Cellular automata
All kinds of possibilities (Probability wave)
.
Math is Drawing
- To calculate
Writing is drawing.
Calculation formula(form)
is a drawing.
- To compute
Signals drawing on multi-
dimensional grids(matrix, net).
Grid is Geometry.
.
To see a pattern in chaos
is the holy grail in Math.
Pattern is Geometry.
Math is Geometry.

p.s.1
For a self-generating system
like Fibonacci sequence or
Cellular automata, to "visualize"
is to shine! Truly shine!
To visualize is to draw.
To draw is to "see".
Geometry, symbols and signs
are the universal language.
.
To visualize
- Fibonacci sequence:
Nature, Golden spiral, and Golden rectangles.
- Cellular automata:
256 2D space-time diagrams.
