“Balance in the universe” concepts (karma, what goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, Golden Rule) are authoritarian high modernism in culture and myth-making. The universe does have balancey things going on but they aren’t THAT crude. Takes artifice to force it
Look at architectural balance, seeking of platonic symmetries and order, balancing of resource flow equations

Ok, so the desire to realize symmetry and balance as a driving principle can be found in AHM. It can also be found in lots of traditions independent of, predating, or opposed to AHM. Can you give a specific example from, say, architecture of how AHM expresses this trait?
