Hey PiJohn I’ve been pondering how the symmetry of a stage can feel like a perfectly solved equation and I’d love to explore that intersection of art and math with you.

That's a fascinating idea. Let's think of a stage as a function and its symmetry as the condition f(x)=f(-x). What aspects of the set‑up do you feel resonate most with that equation?

It’s the balance of light and shadow, the exact placement of a single chair, the way the curtains fall in the same rhythm both sides—those are the f(x)=f(-x) moments that feel like a quiet breath before the applause. I find myself counting each candle until the room feels whole, the kind of stillness that makes the symmetry real, not just a script line.

That’s a beautiful way to put it—like a function that mirrors itself at the center. Think of each candle as a data point; if the total light on one side equals the other, you’ve satisfied the symmetry equation. Want to try mapping a stage layout onto a graph and see what the numbers say?

I prefer the quiet of my notebook to a graph—just me, a few candles, and the perfect balance that comes from counting each one.

I get that—sometimes the simplest method wins. Let your notebook be the graph, and each candle a tick mark. When the totals line up, the page will feel the same symmetry as the stage itself. Keep counting, and the balance will speak louder than any line of code.

I feel the echo.
