internalism

Paradigm of symmetricity in which an object is externally symmetric if each of its individual parts are INTERNALLY symmetric--even if adjacent individual parts are not symmetric with respect to each other.

Synonymous to liminalism.
Internalism or liminalism creates space.

Asymmetric adjacent internally-symmetric (disymmetric) individual parts that create a symmetric whole, a metastructure.

Internalism (space) meta-emerges when the symmetric components of all of the adjacent asymmetric parts and the symmetric whole intersect at a single point generated by an asymmetric line which creates a contiguity between the disymmetric parts-of-parts and the symmetric whole.
