8. Symmetry: A Balancing Act in Two or More Parts

Symmetry is the framework that underlies life’s propensity of diversity and movement. These qualities must be continually balanced and ordered within the laws of time and space to work within the bounds of nature. Without symmetry, diversity and movement would succumb to inherent chaos. Movement would meander without purpose, and diversity would never settle into agreement. We’re really quite organized considering the alternative!

Likewise, life cannot exist without movement propelling it onward or without diversity’s genetically latent options that adjust to changing environmental circumstances. Organized complexity is a by-product of existence and is also an essential ingredient.
