A binary predicate that relates a (tangible or intangible) spatial thing to an axis of symmetry (if it has any). (Symmetric Axes OBJECT AXIS) means that AXIS is an axis of symmetry of OBJECT: a straight line with respect to which OBJECT is either bilaterally or radially symmetric (see axisymmetric object).
For example, any straight line that passes through the center of a given sphere is an axis of symmetry of the sphere. The axle of a bicycle wheel spatially subsumes a segment of the wheel's (radial) axis of symmetry.
For a broader notion of axis, which includes the partly conventionally-determined axes of certain non-symmetric objects, see the generalization Object Axes.
