  P-symmetry -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
P-symmetry is simply the spatial ((mathematics) an attribute of a shape or relation; exact correspondence of form on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane) symmetry exhibited during a (The phenomenon of a propagating wave (light or sound) being thrown back from a surface) reflection.
"P" stands for ((physics) parity is conserved in a universe in which the laws of physics are the same in a right-handed system of coordinates as in a left-handed system) parity.
It came as a shock to most physicists in the (The decade from 1950 to 1959) 1950s that P-symmetry was violated in some radioactive phenomena which involved ((physics) an interaction between elementary particles involving neutrinos or antineutrinos that is responsible for certain kinds of radioactive decay; mediated by intermediate vector bosons) weak forces.

 Plane symmetry patterns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The only symmetries of P are the identity and reflection with mirror L. I like to call patterns with bilateral symmetry inkblot patterns.
The only possible symmetries of P are the identity, rotations with center C, and reflections with mirror through C. There are two classes of patterns with radial symmetry, cyclic (with rotations only) and dihedral (with both rotations and reflections.) I like to call radial patterns wheel patterns.
This implies that all the translation symmetries of P have parallel vectors.

 Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking
The extension of the concept of continuous symmetry from “global” symmetries (such as the Galilean group of spacetime transformations) to “local” symmetries is one of the important developments in the concept of symmetry in physics that took place in the twentieth century.
The discrete symmetries C, P and T are connected by the so-called CPT theorem, demonstrated by Lüders in 1952, which states that the combination of C, P, and T is a general symmetry of physical laws.
Symmetries may be used to explain (i) the form of the laws, and (ii) the occurrence (or non-occurrence) of certain events (this latter in a manner analogous to the way in which the laws explain why certain events occur and not others).

 Symmetry Breaking in Software Patterns
In general, a large symmetry of the simplified neoclassicist type rarely contributes to the life of a thing, because in any complex whole in the world, there are nearly always complex, asymmetrical forces at work--matters of location, and context, and function--which require that symmetry be broken.
We can also explain the relationship between symmetry and symmetry breaking as a causal relationship: the original system exhibiting the original symmetry is the cause; the transformed system in which some symmetry is broken is an effect.
Patterns precipitate from symmetries in response to both internal and external forces that are the analogy of instability.

 Derived Rules of Logic E   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The new one is Equanimity: P, P == Q Equanimity: ------------ Q With this additional rule, a theorem can be defined as traditionally done in logic: a theorem is (0) an axiom or (1) the conclusion of an inference rule whose premises are theorems.
P Redundant true: -------- P == true This rule is used as follows in a proof.
P --- (20) = P1 => P2 = Q The indication on the first line that P is a theorem alerts the reader to the fact that the last line Q is a theorem, by inference rule Modus Ponens.

The concept of P being stationary with Q moving is asymmetrical, consistent with the asymmetry of the spacetime diagram of Figure 4.
Given the symmetry of relative motion shown in Figures 1 and 2, and the symmetry of the transformation equations (26 to 29), it should be possible to develop a spacetime diagram in a symmetrical model, to represent the symmetry of the relative motion.
The relationship of the axis of symmetry to P and Q is clarified later.

 HYLE 3 (1997): Symmetry and Complexity-Fundamental Concepts of Research in Chemistry
Pasteur recognized that the relationship between symmetry of reflection and optical activity is not a function of the crystal structure of a substance.
The next symmetry element is inversion in which a molecule remains unchanged during a reflection of all atomic coordinates (x, y, z) at the point of inversion to (-x, -y, -z).
The symmetry transformations of a molecule, when executed one by one, produce symmetry transformations in turn and define as a whole the symmetry structure of the molecule by the mathematical group of these symmetry transformations.

 Charge, Parity, and Time Reversal (CPT) Symmetry
It came as some surprise that parity, P, symmetry is broken by the radioactive decay beta decay process.

Symmetry breaking by adding symmetric constraints during search usually assumes that symmetric constraints are simple.
Unfortunately, symmetry exclusion was often not straightforward to implement and had to be redesigned for every special problem or enumeration strategy, which leaded to an inflexibility in the program structure once it was introduced.
Often symmetry exclusion was not done at all or only for a small set of symmetries.

 Knight's Tour Notes, Part Cc: Chronology 1900 to Present
Fourth Memorandum: missing, but there is a hand-written note on enumeration of 16-move circuits in quaternary symmetry, classified by pattern of central angles, which may have been omitted because duplicating the work of de Hijo (1882), which he cites in later memoirs.
The first is symmetric with oblique quaternary elements, the second has near axial symmetry, and its central area is formed of the symmetric (4×4 – 2) tour.
Knight's tours of smaller boards are mentioned on p.151 (#484) where it is stated, wrongly, that "on a 4×4 board, wherever you start, either four or six squares will be omitted from your tour" (the minimum is 1 for an open tour, 2 for a closed tour).
