(image1;This is a famous puzzle"Rubix cube")
(image2; Claude Levi=strauss, anthropologist)Whenever I listen the topics about Levi=strauss, Rubix cube remind me of structuralism. This toy has many things to do with mathematics " group theory". The arrangement of the elements always can be replaced the another finite arrangement. This is called "Permutation" Every times we transform arrangements, we can't change how to operate this puzzle.(we can only revolve just one third of the cubic puzzle around axis at any time,as you know.) This is "Structure" . Mathematical idea like this was applied for linguistic,or kinship. This is called "Structuralism". We can use different expressions by the language. But phonologically,we have to obey always the invariable elements (it is called "Phoneme"). Structuralist seeks for a invariable frame like these in the sensitivity.
