Local symmetries are pervasive in nature (sun, trees, crystals, bodies) and are associated with minimum energy and least-action principles.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Local symmetries act as a kind of glue which holds space together; the more glue there is, the more the space is one, solid, unified, coherent—and the symmetrical segments must overlap for the glue to be effectiveclaim0.829
  Interpretation of the experimental finding: overlapping local symmetries are the hidden structural feature that creates perceived wholeness
• In nature, unfolding often consists of a process that establishes local symmetries one by one.claim0.819
  Connects biological morphogenesis to architectural process.
• The deepest invariant of all living structures is that local symmetries are so densely packed that the highest possible density of local symmetries occurs, without having an overall symmetry.claim0.808
• Overall symmetry in a system, by itself, is not a strong source of life or wholeness; local symmetries create coherence while overall symmetry is often naive and even brutalclaim0.804
  Claim distinguishing the deadening effect of large-scale neoclassicist symmetry from the vitalizing effect of numerous overlapping local symmetries
• When centers are being created, a high proportion of them are locally symmetrical; living process is, in part, a process of creating local symmetries.claim0.788
• The process of adding local symmetries in a structure-preserving way intensifies the feeling, and when carried out fully leads to the emergence of the archetype.claim0.785
• The nearly identical detailed sub-symmetries and sub-sub-symmetries on all six arms of individual snow crystals are not explained by any present diffusion-aggregation model.finding0.783
