  • The physics concept of reduction from larger to smaller symmetry groups, cited as consistent with but less comprehensive than the principle of unfolding wholeness
  • 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.
