Symmetry

RBF Definitions

"Symmetrical means having no local asymmetries. Omni-

symmetrical permits local asymmetries. Universe is

omnisymmetrical. A three-bladed propeller is dynamically

symmetrical (three pear-shaped blades at 120° to each

other inscribed in an equilateral triangle). The propeller

blade is locally asymmetrical. . . . Our seeability is so

inherently local that we never see anything but the

asymmetries. . . Sociologists have such trouble because

they see (rather than principles) such a high frequency of

asymmetries."
