0:00.0 | So today we're going to delve a little bit more deeply into the realm of symbolic representation. |
0:21.4 | And I'll tell you what I think I'm doing, and then I'll show you a bunch of examples |
0:28.0 | of it, then I want to tell you a couple more stories, and so I'll tell you the stories |
