"But I can dream, can't I...?"

From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project:
7 September 2023 Thursday
At night, I finished watching Arrival on Netflix:
Ian Donnelly: If you immerse yourself into a foreign language, then you can actually rewire your brain.
Louise Banks: Yeah, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It's the theory that the language you speak determines how you think and...
Ian Donnelly: Yeah, it affects how you see everything.
This reminds me of what it was like learning the 'language' of Piranesi's Ichnographia Campus Martius--a language of building plans and their Latin labels, different than learning a language of text. The language of Piranesi's final project is also largely a language of building plans, and only minimally a language of texts.
Louise Banks: The weapon is their language. They gave it all to us. Do you understand what that means?
Colonel Weber: So we can learn heptapod. If we survive.
Louise Banks: If you learn it, when you really learn it, you begin to perceive time the way that they do. So you can see what's to come. But time, it isn't the same for them. It's non-linear.

Re: perfectly symmetrical circles
The way I see it, the reality of virtual symmetry is its asymmetry.
