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

  • Movement in a given direction through a given distance; all frieze patterns possess this symmetry by definition.
  • rotation symmetryconcept0.759
    Rotation about a point by an angle 360°/n leaving the pattern invariant
  • One of four key isometries; reflection across a line (mirror line or axis of reflection).
  • Symmetry Breakingconcept0.755
  • The physics concept of reduction from larger to smaller symmetry groups, cited as consistent with but less comprehensive than the principle of unfolding wholeness
  • One of four key isometries; rotation about a point through a given angle, with n-fold variants based on 360°/n invariance.
  • A principle from physics that when symmetry is broken, a system acts to preserve as many of its symmetries as possible, preserving as much structure as possible.
  • Models with different initializations converge to same basin up to permutations over weight space
