## AI overview

The third article in a series explains how Aboulafia's tserouf orders all permutations of a word and visualizes them by placing the permutations around a circle and connecting each word to its reversal. Because the full permutation space becomes too large to draw, the article samples chords and shows that they form recurring caustic curves visible at multiple scales.
