This is the name given to the position correspondence that exists, or should exist, between two points or elements. It is a feature present in various geometric constructions, systems and equations, as well as being found in living beings and abstract entities. However, in a formal aspect, the symmetric object is one that, starting from a certain mathematical problem solved and applied to the creation of a similar object, the former cannot be differentiated from the latter, since they will have the same characteristics, measurements and constitution.
This concept can be found in a large number of areas, especially those that require geometry or have theories related to it.
In the drawing, the conception of symmetry comes in the five main symmetries, which are called rotational symmetry, translation symmetry, enlargement symmetry, abatement symmetry and bilateral symmetry; With these, it is possible to achieve an equivalence in the repetitive lines within a graphical representation. In biology, for its part, symmetry refers to the equal distribution and size of those parts, present in specific organisms, that are repeated; a small percentage of these species do not have this characteristic. In this field, it can be divided into radial symmetry, which goes from the oral side to the aboral side, and bilateral symmetry, whose axis is that of movement.
In music, symmetry is present, mostly, in those classical music compositions, where the notes are arranged by means of bilateral symmetry, half-turns or translation. Finally, this word is an important part of the concept of beauty, since, according to numerous scientific studies carried out, it is common for people to perceive objects or beings that present symmetry as beautiful.
