The Logo
The logo is a composite of two symbolic lineages: Cleopatra the Alchemist’s ouroboros, the ancient emblem of cyclical unity and transformation that famously appeared in Kekulé’s dream, prompting his discovery of the benzene ring; and a Yin-Yang symbol reconstructed via quantum ghost imaging, a technique in which spatial information is retrieved from correlated photon pairs—one of which never interacts with the object itself. Together, these forms reflect a convergence of myth and modern physics, showing that perception and structure can emerge not only through direct contact but through subtle patterns, inference, and the unseen relationships that shape what we observe.
