Asymmetry

Common card · No. 378816

In geometry and other fields, asymmetry is an absence or violation of symmetry in an object or process, such that some transformation (such as reflection in space) results in an observable difference. Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms. The absence of or violation of symmetry that are either expected or desired can have important consequences for a system.
