It is a curious and odd coincidence that the Yin and Yang mirrors the duality that C.S.Peirce identified in semiotics as icons and symbols. 
Even more surprising (and useful) is that you can actually explore this duality by playing around with diffusion models (i.e., #stablediffusion, #dalle, #midjourney). This is because these models are both symbolic as well as iconic in nature. medium.com/intuitionmachi…
It's also intriguing that existing human civilization is structured primarily around the use of symbols. An insightful ancient historical accounting of this can be found in the book "Alphabet versus the Goddess". amazon.com/Alphabet-Versu…
In my proposed model of human cognition, I recognize the importance of these opposites to construct an architecture that involves the conversation of four specialized components. medium.com/intuitionmachi…
The derivation of this architecture originates from C.S. Peirce's formulation of knowledge discovery. medium.com/intuitionmachi…
