The profound principle that underlies all living structure; symmetry as the mathematical trace of necessity.
Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count
Concepts (2)
concept
- Example of wrong symmetry: identical squares for apartments and gardens create an unnatural structure because the two functions are unlike.
- Example of deliberate Japanese asymmetry where the blossoms are locally symmetrical but placed off-center to avoid false coincidence of symmetries.
