Symmetry is integral to the way life works. It signifies a balanced and harmonious beauty of form, not a perfect mirror image, but orderliness in the design and purpose of all living things.
The Web of Life
New scientific advances have certainly brought scientists into contact with a strange and not-so-expected reality, yes; but, it has also presented them with a paradoxical allegory. In their struggle to grasp this new reality, they have become painfully aware too that their basic concepts and language, including their “time-tested” whole new way of thinking were, or are, inadequate to describing the atomic phenomenon.
The Creative Grain of Existence
Creativity isn’t a prerogative of supreme beings. Why you may well ask. Simple. We are all, individually and collectively, riding the crest of evolution today, thanks to our in-born craft and appetite for inventiveness, not to speak of the emergence of great machines and harnessing of energies.

It expresses a chart, much like an atlas, or a diagram, no less. Call it mind-mapping of a different kind, where your brain connects to your limbs and body, holding the prospect to execute action in your own space — your physiological province.
