An analytical theoretical study of 2D and 3D objects using the laws of Fraunhofer diffraction is presented. The induction of symmetry following the Fourier properties of algebraic rules is demonstrated. For a completely random distribution in any type of 2D and 3D real object, there is no symmetry. However, when the real object is propagated to the far field forming the diffracted field, a particular symmetry of conjugate pairs is generated for every point as a reflection through the origin. © Anita Publications.
