mirror symmetry
Bilateral balance property
Mirror symmetry is the property of being identical on both sides of a central line or plane, as if reflected in a mirror.
A butterfly's wings have mirror symmetry; so does a human face, roughly.
In mathematics and physics, the concept extends to higher dimensions and abstract spaces.
Also called bilateral symmetry or reflection symmetry.
