what model did you ask? here's the exact reply I received from Claude Sonnet, which appears to be exactly the answer you were expecting:

"Among the seven modes of C major, only Dorian is its own reflection.

Understanding Mode Reflections When we reflect a mode, we reverse its interval pattern. The modes of C major and their interval patterns are:

Ionian: W-W-H-W-W-W-H

Dorian: W-H-W-W-W-H-W

Phrygian: H-W-W-W-H-W-W

Lydian: W-W-W-H-W-W-H

Mixolydian: W-W-H-W-W-H-W

Aeolian: W-H-W-W-H-W-W

Locrian: H-W-W-H-W-W-W

The Palindromic Nature of Dorian Dorian mode is palindromic, meaning it produces the same scale whether you read its interval pattern forwards or backwards. When you reverse the Dorian interval pattern W-H-W-W-W-H-W, you get exactly the same sequence: W-H-W-W-W-H-W.

Mirror Pairs Among the Other Modes The remaining modes form mirror pairs with each other:

Ionian-Phrygian: Mirror pair

Lydian-Locrian: Mirror pair

Mixolydian-Aeolian: Mirror pair

For example, when you reflect the C major scale (Ionian), which has the interval pattern W-W-H-W-W-W-H, you get H-W-W-W-H-W-W, which corresponds to the Phrygian mode.

This symmetrical relationship exists because the whole diatonic scale system can be symmetrically inverted, creating these natural mirror relationships between the modes"

from meta, the AR company? I mean, their headset sort of lost traction a while back. I dont think FB had anything to do with it but considering their current domination of consumer VR I suppose I wouldnt put it past them to taking down/buying up a potential competitor in the AR field.

From the USPTO docs and screenshot included within them, they seemed to describe themselves as a provider of services. Their LLC's address is a residential home, which is fine, but a little shady for a company that vaguely states the services it provides, while also having a supposed "product launch" delayed, despite no evidence whatsoever of anyone associated with the company, no SEC filings or white papers, or really anything to prove any of what theyre saying. It's kinda weird.
