6. Leyton's Dynamics of shape

• To every object is associated a history - Representing a shape is alike recovering the process of creation of that object. (cf. Ch.4 "Representation Is Explanation" in Symmetry, Causality, Mind, by Michael Leyton, MIT Press, 1992.)
• Duality between symmetry and curvature.
• Asymmetry implies a process (away from symmetry).
