The information we have is: for the function to be symmetric to the y-axis f(x) = f(-x); for the function to be symmetric to the x-axis f(x) = -f(x); and for something to be symmetric to the origin then f(-x) = -f(x).
Well, if a graph is symmetric about something, all it means is that you can fold the graph in some way, and the different parts of the graph will overlap.
Finally, a graph that is symmetric about the origin will overlap if you fold the graph along the x-axis and the y-axis.

 Internet Topology - 2. Graph theoretic terms (AB)
Graphs are directed in the sense that AB being an edge does not imply that BA is also an edge.
To symmetrize a graph is to add reverse edge BA for each edge AB that is in the graph.
The outdegree of a node in a directed graph is the number of links that originate at the node (number of B's such that AB is an edge.) Indegree is the number of links that terminate at the node.

By a geometric space I technically mean a complete edge colored graph: the graph is a set of n vertices with all n(n-1)/2 edges between them and the coloring is a function from the edges to their colors.
Thus the four vertices of a rectangle give rise to an edge colored graph with four vertices and three interesting colors, one for the "horizontal" length, one for the "vertical" length and one for the "diagonal" length.
A symmetric graph has a group of auotomorphisms that is transitive on the vertices and on the edges (of the one color) of the graph.

 Diffusion on aggregated graphs (AB)
This is most likely due to the fact that a symmetric graph expands path counts in each and every node, whereas for directed graph paths generated in acyclic (destinations-bound) part cannot find continuation outside this part and are forced by unidirectional nature of this part to terminate in a small number of hops.
Making graph changes the numer of nodes generating paths for common use, from 299 to 9449, whence an unexpected increase in path growth factor, which otherwise is just another nonlinear mean of nodes' outdegrees.
More detailed information regarding the structure of the skitter AS graph is contained in the processing log of programs which prune trees or the whole acyclic part off the graph and find its giant component in the process of transitive closure.

So here we have a systematic (symmetric) way to represent an irrational number, that in and of itself is almost a contradiction of terms, for irrational numbers do not have systematic decimal representations; yet with the notions of continued fractions and infinite square roots there is a certain symmetry to them.
