  • Symmetry Breakingconcept0.878
  • 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.
  • Symmetry detectorconcept0.761
    Functional role of SOHMs, detecting symmetries in input to compress information.
  • Property where background and foreground tiles have identical shapes; observed in pmg2 patterns at the Alhambra.
  • 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.
