We measure quantitatively symmetry and entropy regarding symmetry of spatial distributions of acoustic emissions generated by microfracturings during creep before ultimate whole fracture of a rock specimen. In the measurement, symmetry properties of the two-dimensional discrete Walsh functions are utilized, and the two- dimensional discrete Walsh transform is applied to the spatial distributions. We find that the spatial distributions of acoustic emissions are rich in double symmetry. Moreover, it is found that the richness in double symmetry increases and the entropy decreases with the evolution of microfracturing process. This decrease of the entropy comes from the increase of the richness in double symmetry. Thus we conclude that the microfracturing process evolves under constraint of the increase of the richness in double symmetry.
