>>11816077Yes, I think this is it. Symmetric things are essentially more compressible or lower entropy or whatever, probably. With symmetries, you require less information to describe something complex compared to describing a similarly complex thing that isn't symmetric. You can encode something like "side A + side B" as "side C" or whatever, if A and B are perfectly symmetric.
Kind of like how you can encode a seemingly very complex and detailed fractal using only a tiny bit of information.
This principle probably applies to some extent at every level, from fundamental physics to the formation of stars and planets to biology to things that humans intentionally design or engineer.
