asymmetries
Lacks of symmetry
Asymmetries is the plural of asymmetry—instances where balance or correspondence between parts is lacking.
The word appears in technical and analytical contexts: asymmetries in power between nations, information asymmetries in markets.
Where asymmetry names the general concept, asymmetries points to specific imbalances: The study identified several asymmetries in how the brain processes language.
