Infinity Heart Brain Spine: Exploring Symbols for Interdependence and Pluralism That Might Just Be Fancy Pretzels

To avoid confusion with the polyamory sign, which is very similar, we thought, “what if the heart is inverted and cuddled into the infinity sign with the outer perimeter evoking both cardioid and lemniscate“? We used Midjourney to generate some concepts. Though the infinity is no longer a proper lemniscate in this configuration, I like it.

Would you use any of these conceptions as a symbol for Interdependence? For Pluralism? For Neurological Pluralism? Do they all look like pretzels? Pluralism pretzels?
