Repeat the same set of moves on a Rubik’s Cube and something unexpected happens: the cube scrambles, then gradually works its way back to solved. When you write a QBASIC program to track average variegation — the degree of disorder — after each repetition, the data points don’t scatter randomly. They trace a curve that fits a 4th-degree polynomial equation, a pattern built entirely from adding and multiplying. Larger sequence orders appear to produce higher-degree polynomials, suggesting the relationship between repetition and disorder follows a consistent mathematical structure.
