About which specific natural law and natural principle comes from what mathematical symmetry and how this principle or law governs behavior of complex object/system.

As a scientist, I contacted MANY other scientists and often foud GAPS in their understanding of fundamentals. They explained those gaps as a lack (or brevity) of explanations in their textbooks or from their teachers years ago (typical excuse: "When I studied in college in good old times, they did not teach it that way").

That is why many scientists (not to say about ordinary public) fill those gaps by "vital forces" or gods of various appearances and properties (property of personal god, by the way, strongly depends on personal knowledge about fundamentals).
