A new objective measure of symmetry for single patterns, called symmetropy, is developed on 2 bases, the 2-dimensional discrete Walsh transform of a pattern and the entropy concept in information theory. It is extended to a more general measure, called the symmetropy vector. To test the predictive power of the symmetropy vector [in humans], multiple regression analyses of judged pattern goodness and of judged pattern complexity were carried out. The symmetropy vector predicted pattern goodness and pattern complexity, as well as the amount of symmetry in a pattern. Pattern goodness may be a concept based on the holistic properties of a pattern, while pattern complexity (or simplicity) may be a concept based on holistic and partial properties of a pattern.
