Why not "symmetry"? Precisely because they are contrived to be
asymmetric, i.e. designed to be, constructed to be asymmetric, in SOME
cases, but contrived to be "un-naturally" symmetric in other cases
(e.g. the right half reversed and substituted for the left half, or
vice versa).
"Chimeric" is simply the term by which these constructins are known
among people engaged in or at least FAMILIAR with this line of research
--for example, those who attended the joint New York Academy of
Sciences/New York Neuropsychology Group meeting at which Dr. Levy spoke
(at my invitation), a few Novembers ago...
Again, this COMPULSION u-no-who has to comment on things he knows
nothing about--shouldn't he be spending more time on manipulating the
stock market? or are these posts intended to do so? OR does the stock
market drive his compulsive commentary? Has he been programmed to do
so? Is this candidate really Manchurian??
