Sharing a thought I had from another post. Is it Good, or not?
"Coordinate system as using (x,y), (-x,y), (x,-y) and (-x,-y)."
Also, I should leave this comnent in the othef thread, but I can't leave further comments for some reason. I think I may have been reading that topic breifly the other day, the page that was linked. I was trying to understand something else I had been reading and wound up reading that, the wikipedia page. I didn't understand it fully at the moment or now. I might reread it at some point. I may have understood it better the second time. And possibly it's because I read more of it.
I don't have an answer to the other question you are asking. Is it like some programming question? I don't know. Or a more general musing?
Like I said in the other post Im not that great with math, but my opinion would be good.
