Examples

“The conditions are often signs of a triumphant hero's beginnings, and indeed will almost reflect, in the antimirror, Cordelia's fate.”

“When an antimirror plane is positioned between the two halves of the Herman's logo, or between the man and woman in the Russian sculpture, there is no geometrical correspondence between the two parts.”

“A physical system may be invariant under mirror operations, but also under antimirror operations, that is mirror operations combined with time reversal.”

“Because of their color reversing nature, antioperations act on displacements such as p in a manner complementary to the action of ordinary symmetry operations; in the present case the antimirror acts to invert the component of p responsible for breaking the symmetry, i.e., p*, and leaves invariant the normal (expansion) component, which does not break symmetry;”

“The current disruption simulation was performed with a long "antimirror" trap 2MK-200 at 10 MW/cm² flow density.”

“Point is, the west wall had to have zero albedo, no reflection, the opposite of the Gymsealed floor. Actually, that's how I wanted my face to be. The Yid called it a "Light Sponge" or an "antimirror."”

“The veil, in some of the poems I have discussed, functions as a kind of antimirror: a representation of the hidden side of nature.”
