In this case the dots and the inclosure are about equally attractive.

In this case the force of attractions in the symmetrical outline is sufficient to overpower any suggestion of instability and movement which may lie in the attractions inclosed by it.
There is another form of Balance, the Balance of Inclinations, but I will defer its consideration until I can illustrate the idea by lines.
THE ORDER OF RHYTHM
IN POSITIONS: DIRECTIONS, DISTANCES, INTERVALS
38. In any unsymmetrical relation of positions (directions, distances, intervals), in which the balance-center is not clearly and sufficiently indicated, there is a suggestion of movement. The eye, not being held by any balance, readily follows this suggestion.
