Symmetry

One of the recurrent principles of terrestrial design is symmetry - an equidistant (from a central point or line) distribution of mirror elements, parts or shapes - that seems to be an organising principle for most local organisms. Symmetries can be bilateral, radial or spherical. The most comprehensible form of symmetry, the spherical one,  is granted only to the smallest of organisms - the actinophryd, the radiolarian, and a couple of acantharea - all of them sporting designs strangely appropriate for Christmas decorations (Christmas - one of the peculiar local festivities similar to the earlier discussed New Year) as the examples of radiolarians below:

Humans exhibit strong sensory attraction to most radially symmetrical organisms such as the flowers, thus suggesting a cognitive point of possible convergence with my perspective which is obviously inclined to better grasp circular phenomena. However, their own partially bilateral symmetry raises more questions than attractions... For one, they are three dimensional beings - why are they symmetrical only in width and height, and asymmetrical in depth? Frankly, they look like some two dimensional object that has just sprung out into three dimensional space. This is also supported by the fact that their so called back is almost uniform: with the exception of the anal opening, most of the information enters and exits from the front - a peculiarity that severely restricts human motility that is most fluent in the forward direction, and rather limited all other ways. Ah well, and those strange beings have set themselves as the standard of all being:
