   How do lines define a labyrinth?

   • Lines define the path and often maintain a consistant width, even around the turns. Generally at the center you have travelled half the distance, where it is common to pause, turn around, and walk back out again. A left- or right-handed labyrinth is determined by the direction of the first turn after entering the labyrinth.

   Is a labyrinth a maze?

   • A labyrinth is “a meandering path, often unicursal, with a singular path leading to a center,” according to the Labyrinth Society. Though some may think of them as being synonymous with mazes, unlike a maze that has dead ends, all paths in the labyrinth lead back to the center no matter how complex it may seem.
