Symmetric Pattern





allahallahPattern is central to humans because it allows us to predict outcomes. Symmetrical pattern is even more valuable, because it means these predictions can be made more accurately. Symmetry is a predictable and perfect regularity within pattern. In symmetric pattern, certain aspect(s) of the pattern are produced identically when other aspects of the pattern are changed. For example, a leaf is symmetric because the two sides are mirror reflections of one another: The two sides of the leaf are identical in shape, texture, and structure -- all that has changed is the orientation in space. Every leaf on the tree follows the same pattern and has the same symmetry.
