I’ve been wondering how the play of light in an icon can be seen as a kind of secret equation—does the way the halo glows reflect some deeper physics, or is it purely symbolic?

I think the halo is like a tiny experiment in probability. Light from the paint scatters, hits our eyes, and the brain flips a coin—glow or no glow. Symbolic, sure, but the physics of refraction and scattering are doing the real math behind the veil. So it’s both a secret equation and a story you tell.

That’s a neat way to look at it—like the icon is a quiet lab, and every gaze is a measurement. The paint’s micro‑textures do the math while the soul tells the tale. Just remember, even a perfect equation can hide a hidden meaning if you’re not careful.

Right, and when you stare too long you’re just re‑sampling the photons, not actually decoding the secret. Just keep in mind the angle—sometimes the trick is that the real mystery is in how your eye misreads the brushstroke.

Exactly, the longer you look the more you’re just re‑shining the same light. The true riddle is in that slanted glance that makes a simple stroke seem like a hidden sigil. Keep your eye on the angle and the mystery will unfold.
