Poetic, but n'est pas possible if you stick to the greek concept of sum-metron. You have to have a plurality of things to speak of symmetry. So, if there is anything to what you say, its perfect and total symmetry an extrinsic denomination in its relation to everything that is not the void.

I'm not sure whether in these threads the void has been differentiated from a logical concept of non-being or non-existence and the more spacial reference to what the Greeks called the chorema or receptacle.

The plurality is achieved by reduction of symmetry from total to something less. In the Big Bang, symmetry was total to begin with, all forces were one, all matter was one. As soon as the expansion began the loss of symmetry began. Not cause and effect, but the plurality of the four kinds of forces in the present universe is associated with the low order of symmetry.
