SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: Theta is measured in degrees from the rectangular x axis,
: and r is the magnitude of the line. (120 appears to
: have some more meaning now...)
I wonder if 120 simply refers to distance from the center. There are 12 circles, if each one marks off 10 'units', then the outermost circle has a 120 'unit' radius.
The dots are quite fuzzy, while the dashes are very distinct. I think the dashes refer to specific numbers (from either 1 - 120 or from -120 - 120) while the dots refer to "order". First dot from center points to the dash which indicates the first number, second dot etc...
Or, maybe not. :-)
