Abstract
I will discuss symmetry from a combinatorial perspective. Examples include wallpaper groups, 4-valent graphs, regular languages, molecules, Penrose tilings, and geometric 3-manifolds. It turns out that for each of these classes there is a finite universal geometric object that encodes all the possibilities.
