Both classical and quantum mechanics are ergodic and the evolution of a state can be represented as a kind of rotation in an abstract space. However, not every physical situation will return to its starting point within a finite time. In these cases, a full rotation doesn't really exist but we can connect ∞ to -∞ and imagine that it does.

It's interesting to consider eigenvectors in a dynamic system, self-similar, nonrepeating yet ergodic nonetheless

How does something go unchanged, yet never the same?

This brings to mind how geometry of orientation influences state & function of chemical receptors in the brain—influence (intrinsic angular momentum), spin augments outcomes. Hard science poetics? Yes, please.
