Arithmetic’s One-Ring Circuit

Most of math, and possibly
The whole of math in the end,
Appears tautological.

You’re mostly rewriting things
In ways that make them clearer.
But clearer to who? To you.

To you, clearer seems truer.
Symmetry is rewriting,
Is walking around the whole

Elephant and declaring,
By completing a circuit
You’ve fully rotated it.
