    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).
  • Movement in a given direction through a given distance; all frieze patterns possess this symmetry by definition.
  • One of four key isometries; combination of reflection and translation parallel to the mirror line.
  • LOCAL SYMMETRYconcept0.725
    One of Alexander's fifteen properties; appears in birthday table, handshake, and namaste examples
  • A transformation that strengthens a center by giving it an internal axis of symmetry, local to the center.
  • Property where background and foreground tiles have identical shapes; observed in pmg2 patterns at the Alhambra.
  • Bioelectrical circuits that set left-right organ placement; a morphogenetic decision akin to brain lateralization.
