Above: A Palindrome of an Ancient Sanskrit poem; an example which has been called “the most complex and exquisite type of palindrome ever invented”I forgot about Palindromes, but today some numbers I was working with came up and reminded me: 144 and 111.
While 144 has its own intriguing qualities, 111 lead me to reading about Palindromes
It is amazing how common and popular games like Palindromes were 2,000 years ago. I like the transcription from a numerical/abstract space in your head into a 2D flat
plane; the numerical relationships generate a natural grid. It would be fun to do this with Fibonacci numbers; using their spatial relationships as a filter to analyze price movements in financial markets to see what forms emerge–not to just let the price values hit an overlay of Fibonacci levels as is common now in technical analysis—but to allow the values
themselves unfold a form, as the values in a Palindrome create a form.
