The Four Fundamental Features
- wonders: repeated without reflection. not explained by gyrations, mirrors or miracles
- gyrations: rotational symmetry
- kaleidoscopes: mirror lines
- miracles: mirrorless crossing
Conway Cost\($\large\color{blue}{\bf{\circ}}: 2\)
\(\large\color{blue}{\bf{N}}: \frac{N-1}{N}\)
\(\large\color{blue}{\bf{\infty}}: 1\)
\(\large\color{red}{\bf{\ast}}: 1\)
\(\large\color{red}{\bf{\times}}: 1\)
\(\large\color{red}{\bf{N}}: \frac{N-1}{2N}\)
\(\large\color{red}{\bf{\infty}}: \frac{1}{2}\)
Total cost of a spherical symmetry pattern is less than \(2\)
