i'm not trying to read too much into something that isn't there. only trying to use the pattern recognition aspect of myself to deepen my understanding of the actual connections among geometry, chemistry, magnetics, et cetera. if the brain's natural predilection for creating, recognizing, and/or applying symbols, as a method of understanding, can be exploited by me, so much the better. not looking for spooky connections that aren't there. thanks for the comment, and the interest.
