perhaps this is like certain kinds of biodynamic/macrobiotic cooking. an acqaintance of mine claimed that one should stir everything an equal number of times clockwise and counterclockwise, to avoid a buildup of yin or yang. Yang, in this case, probably refers to Yang-Lee quantum field theories (clearly chiral ones). Cris On Jan 26, 2014, at 7:28 PM, James Propp <jamespropp@gmail.com> wrote:
