In a mathematical system, what similarities are there between the most and least absolute symmetries?
Might Noether's theorem explain this?

Loren Booda said:I was thinking in part of "maximum" temperatures and "minimum" temperatures, as considered with a magnetic field -- are they of equal symmetry?
Maximum symmetry refers to a situation where all elements of a system are arranged in such a way that they are indistinguishable from one another. This results in a high level of balance and order. On the other hand, minimum symmetry refers to a situation where the elements of a system are arranged in a way that highlights their differences and lack of balance.
Symmetry can be measured by looking at the arrangement of elements in a system and determining how closely they match each other. This can be done visually or mathematically by using symmetry operations such as reflections, rotations, and translations.
A change in symmetry can be caused by external factors such as physical forces or internal factors such as changes in temperature or pressure. It can also be influenced by the inherent properties of the system, such as the shape and arrangement of its elements.
Maximum symmetry is often associated with a higher degree of stability as it represents a state of balance and order. On the other hand, minimum symmetry can be less stable as it highlights the differences and imbalances within a system.
Yes, it is possible for maximum symmetry to become minimum symmetry. This can occur through external factors or internal changes within the system that disrupt the balance and order of its elements. However, it is also possible for a system to maintain a high level of symmetry even in the face of external challenges.
