- Rotational Symmetryrelated_toOne of four key isometries; rotation about a point through a given angle, with n-fold variants based on 360°/n invariance.
- p112 Frieze Patternassociated_withSecond frieze type; has two-fold rotational symmetry but no reflections or glide-reflections.
- pmg2 Frieze Patternassociated_withSixth frieze type; has two-fold rotational symmetry, vertical reflection symmetry, and glide-reflection symmetry.
- pmm2 Frieze Patternassociated_withFifth frieze type; has reflection symmetry in two directions and two-fold rotational symmetry.

- 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.
- 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.
