Bidirectionalization

Bidirectionalization is like having two doors that can be used to go in and out of a room. Except instead of doors, it's like having two versions of the same thing that can be changed and kept in sync with each other.

Imagine you have a toy house with lots of different rooms inside. When you play with your toys in the living room, you might want the furniture to be set up a certain way. But when you're done playing and put everything away, you want the living room to look tidy and neat, with everything in its place.

This is where bidirectionalization comes in handy. It means that you can easily make changes to the toy living room in one direction, and then those changes will automatically be made in the other direction as well. So if you move the toy couch in the living room during playtime, it will also move when you clean up and put everything away.

In more grown-up terms, bidirectionalization is a way to keep two versions of the same data in sync with each other when one version gets updated. It's used a lot in computer programming and databases, because it helps ensure that all the information stays accurate and up-to-date no matter where it's being used.
