Uneven, irregular design
In networking, a system in which the relationship between two entities is inherently unequal, with each entity restricted to a set of operations and prerogatives defined by its role in the relationship
A lack of equivalence between two things, such as the unequal tax treatment of interest expense and dividend payments [Harvey]
Asymmetry is the appearance that something has when its two sides or halves are different in shape, size, or style. the asymmetry of Van de Velde's designs of this period. symmetry
the depiction in a work of art of two sides as being not identical without impairing the general harmony of the work Asymmetry is used to prevent a work from appearing static and superficial, as no two sides of a life form are identical

Aspects of letterforms that depart from mirror images relationships between letter pairs, especially 'b-d' and 'p-q', and within individual letters, such as 'T' in some typefaces
lacking symmetry; parts of the body are unequal in shape or size
Incommensurability

A balance of parts on opposite sides of a perceived midline, giving the appearance of equal visual weight
Want of symmetry, or proportion between the parts of a thing, esp
is arrangements of elements or units which imply balance but are placed in such a way as to create a dynamic sense
want of bilateral symmetry
n Lack of balance or symmetry
asymmetrical
Presenting a false dilemma, or a choice between two things which are not opposites

Question six is asymmetrical: Are things going in the right direction or on the wrong track? (The West Wing, Season 1, Episode 21, Toby).

asymmetry.
dissymmetry
information asymmetry
(Ekonomi) In economics and contract theory, an information asymmetry is present when one party to a transaction has more or better information than the other party. (This is also called a state of asymmetric information). Most commonly, information asymmetries are studied in the context of principal-agent problems. In 2001, the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was awarded to George Akerlof, Michael Spence, and Joseph E. Stiglitz "for their analyses of markets with asymmetric information."

asymmetrical
response Term used to describe the comparative shapes of the boost/cut curves for variable equalizers The cut curves do not mirror the boost curves, but instead are quite narrow, intended to act as notch filters
asymmetrical

asymmetrical
Having no proper proportions; unsymmetrical
asymmetrical
