In my first diamond article I discussed how humans are attacted to symmetry and how patterns are something humans like.

A new study sugests it may be hard wired into our brains.

These articles are nice because it's some form of research that backs up what has been instinctive for many.

I'd like to add the symmetry links that resulted from discussions of that article here.  Anyone who has interest in the above might enjoy these as well.

Amy Scott's page has been taken down.  She is an International Baccalaureate instructor who does Theory of Knowledge.  The school where I instructed for many years was an IB school too, so I've written to her to see if that content can be restored (or emailed).  It's all very cool stuff.
