All,
Dualities are symmetries of order two and symmetries
bear on complexity by reducing its measure in proportion
to their order. The inverse relationship between symmetry
and the usual dissymmetries from dispersion and diversity to
entropy and uncertainty is governed in cybernetics by the Law
of Requisite Variety, the medium of which exchange C.S. Peirce
invested in his formula: Information = Comprehension × Extension.
The duality between entitative and existential interpretations of
logical graphs is one example of a mathematical symmetry but it's
not unusual to find symmetries within symmetries and it's always
rewarding to find them where they exist.
To that end let's take up our Table of Venn Diagrams and Logical Graphs
on Two Variables and sort the rows to bring together diagrams and graphs
having similar shapes. What defines their similarity is the action of
a mathematical group whose operations transform the elements of each
class among one another but intermingle no dissimilar elements.
In the jargon of transformation groups those classes are called “orbits”.
We find the sixteen rows partition into seven orbits, as shown below.
