  • They are of the opinion that the correct definition of a symmetry of an object SSS in space is that a transformation TTT is a symmetry of SSS iff T(S)=ST(S) = ST(S)=S (as a set).
  • The above rules out things like translations of a cube.
  • Indeed, one can only recover translations by considering a line on the space and then considering the orbit of the line under a specific translation TTT.
