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.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
