Symmetry and Asymmetry

the topic itself seems to be a symmetric pair. a Russell paradox?

longtime i wonder what is art and how it has some magical power on human. another area i am interested in is architecture. previously i prefer Gaudi, but later, as aging, i turn to Renzo Piano who seems more engineering style.

the first thing to clarify is the concept of symmetry and asymmetry. by symmetry, we are not meaning the traditional mirror or simple 2-D transitions. it has more broad meaning to incorporate such as fractal or some drawings like the one on the cover of book "design patterns", etc.

in one words, symmetry means some form which can be compressed into highly concise information. while asymmetry is the opposite.

the world prefers symmetry not because the God likes it. it adopts mostly because such form is most suitable for the world to explode. by the same rule, something can evolve into a small grass or a skyscrape tree.

asymmetry is the opposite. it appears not because the God wants the world more colorful. it's unsteady, rich of information, energetic. just as the simple symmetric rule lying in the heart of universe, there is some asymmetric power existing at the same time.

everything is similar, but not exactly the same.

the combination and undividedness of symmetry and asymmetry is easy to explain, just like even with 0,1, we can form rational and irrational numbers at the same time. the world could be simple and complex, depending on how you look at it.

people are trying to decode asymmetry, in the small, by some research topics like PR, IR, signal processing, in the large, all areas like math. however, the basic problem is our logic world is built on some strictly symmetric blocks, it's impossible for us to simulation the real world even it seems we can imagine very asymmetric things.

in one words, our "asymmetry" is based on recording history and non-repeat. and in real world, asymmetry is real asymmetry, sort of distributed.

currently the only asymmetry we can generate is by borrowing seeds from real world and put them through our symmetric tunnels.

to get out of this dilemma, the first thing to do is to break traditional binary logic which is the foundation of modern AI. this is the heart of the universe and makes the game less funny.

another possible place to change is to make the whole system more distributed and autonomous.

i will come back to this topic later.
