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.
- Dogma = (Paradox)(Altruism) ⁄ Moral Clarity

- Moral Clarity = (Altruism)(Paradox) ⁄ Dogma
