Explanation
An expression that reads the same in both directions under a stated convention. It turns linear writing into a reversible path and foregrounds formal symmetry.
Example
The form becomes visible in context and can be followed as a movement of interpretation.
Counterexample
A palindrome preserves sequence under reversal rather than merely reusing letters.
Distinction
A palindrome preserves sequence under reversal rather than merely reusing letters.
Effect on thought and perception
It turns linear writing into a reversible path and foregrounds formal symmetry.
Resonance
It turns linear writing into a reversible path and foregrounds formal symmetry.
