'''Mimesis''' is a kind of imitation other than mere copying. It's a sort of "presenting again" or ''re-presentation''. Colloquially speaking, it's "Monkey see, monkey do."

'''Mimesis''' is a kind of imitation other than mere copying. It's a sort of "presenting again" or ''re-presentation''. Colloquially speaking, it's "Monkey see, monkey do." For this reason, it is also called ''mirror symmetry'', since the re-presentation is like looking in a mirror. Examples of mimesis include children mimicking gestures of their parents; birds learning to fly; and the [[camouflage]] patterns of animals like [[octopus]]es and [[chameleon]]s, which re-present their surroundings.
