Crab Canon

A crab canon is an arrangement of two things that are complementary and backward, similar to a palindrome. Originally it is a musical term for a kind of canon in which one line is reversed in time from the other (e.g. FABACEAE <=> EAECABAF). The use of the term in non-musical contexts was popularized by Douglas Hofstadter.
