A line is mirrored with a thread that is fixed at one point. The ‘topological symmetry’ remains nevertheless due to the consistency between both
Proportionality in dimension and placement determine the symmetry. elements.
Line and thread are made of continuous material through which they are topologically
identical. A line as elongated form is mirrored horizontally.
The thread is subject to gravity and sags downwards but the line remains straight. The
distortion of the thread interrupts the normal symmetry.
