3) [diracbracket] 26-4-2011(37): Those who have studied physics may find this useful. The two parts of the kanji represent the two statistical distributions for bosons and fermions. The Bose-Einstein distribution is represented by the sign of the bird because birds, like bosons, are social creatures who like to flock together. The Fermi-Dirac distribution is represented by a snake, since snakes, like fermions, are solitary creatures who like to keep to themselves.
