The same poem, solved four ways
A similar triangles poem is a proportion, a ⁄ b = d ⁄ e, and a proportion can be rearranged without changing what it claims. Each arrangement is a separate poem and all four say the same thing.
- Natural Selection = (The Engine)(Mutation) ⁄ Fuel
- The Engine = (Natural Selection)(Fuel) ⁄ Mutation
- Mutation = (Fuel)(Natural Selection) ⁄ The Engine
- Fuel = (Mutation)(The Engine) ⁄ Natural Selection
