It looks very weird, but if you put it like abab vs abba, it makes more sense

This is much easier to parse for me than the one in the post. Interesting. I guess letters are easier to abstract

I hate this even more than the original one. At least the original one had a horizontal line of symmetry to calm me a bit.

“()()” is an ambigram, which wikipedia describes as “visual palindromes”, for whatever that’s worth.

Oh boy, they have some good ones. You’ve been missing out.

Edit: Quicksort has a nice one. SVD for linear/matrix operations too.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen even better ones that could almost stand as a YouTube video but I can’t remember where now

This is an unacceptable glitch in the universe.

It’s time to reboot it with a patch.

Let us substitute: ( - x, ) - y
Thus ()() becomes xyxy
())( becomes xyyx
Now clearly it can be seen, even while high, that the second one is and the first isn’t
