    I believe for multiplying two complex numbers - you multiply their distances from the origin, then add their angles.
    We see the adding of angles here, but as we are only dealing with complex numbers of distance 1 from the origin, the result is also a distance of one, hence why all the values here remain on that circle (1*1=1)

    I remember when I was first presented with the Rubiks Cube solutions thing....at the time we hadn't officially solved it yet, but "experimentally" the most moves ever required to solve one had been 19 and it was theorized that either 19 or 20 was the true answer. Ah, the wonders of Google and how far it has brought us. (I worked on a Rubiks Cube for a year and never had a solution over 17 moves, so 18-20 move solutions are near-perfect scrambles and extremely rare)

    What you've said about soap film is a common misconception, but not wholly accurate. Soap film does not always evolve to global energy minima. It finds a local minima where the energy needed to leave the local minima is larger than the small deviations in energy in the bubble.
    If bubbles really did find global minima, we'd be able to easily solve the traveling salesman problem by simulating solutions to differential equations. But we can't. We can only find (often times quite good) approximate solutions.

    It is madness to think symmetry can form out of chaos and time out of statistical entropy! But it is logical that a process of spherical 4πr² symmetry forming and breaking could form entropy with the potential for greater symmetry formation. When the spherical symmetry breaks, it could form the potential for the most beautiful of geometrical shapes, the spiral.
    We have photon ∆E=hf energy continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons. Could this process form a design pattern or template in the form of spherical geometry for self-organization and complexity to arise?
    Could a single geometrical process square ψ², t², e², c², v² forming the potential for mathematics?
    We need to go back to r² and the three dimensional physics of the Inverse Square Law. Even back to the spherical 4πr² geometry of Huygens’ Principle of 1670. The Universe could be based on simple geometry that forms the potential for evermore complexity. Forming not just physical complexity, but also the potential for evermore-abstract mathematics.

It's on wikipedia, at least. I did not see the equation(s) myself, but I don't think I would understand that anyway ^^

Just curious if you know what the ratio of the square in the middle is in relation to the squares on the sides? I'm assuming it must be some constant ratio....just curious if its 1:3 or 1:6 or something cool like pi or e or something like that
