率
Mnemonic
A wizard lifts his hat, releasing a spark that lands on a cocoon wrapped tightly around a cross. He's calculating the precise ratio of fire to silk needed to free the moth inside without burning it alive.
Additional thoughts
Picture the cross as a measuring axis, the hat as the authority directing the experiment, the spark as the variable, and the cocoon as the material being tested. The ratio is the delicate balance between liberation and destruction.Quick recall
