Geometry of Love

Two lines intersect
an inherently 
unstable situation.

Parallel lines
are better
each proceeding
separately in 
the same direction
balanced by forces 
of attraction/repulsion.
But if these change
the lines diverge 
or intersect (see above).

Sometimes two
intersecting lines
may align 
with a third
forming a 
triangle.
Which is stable
but generally 
disapproved of.

Very occasionally
two lines may meet
end to end
and curve
to form
a circle
which is
One.

Very well written Dave! Never looked at LOVE mathematically before! There are options, but ideally circles make the world go round. // paul

Thanks Paul, I blame it on my misspent youth spent in the sciences.
