Mark,

The asymmetric outcome can be mostly attributed to the asymmetric 
(random) distribution of plastic seeds.
You can control the locations of seeds to get a symmetric output. For 
example, a single seed at the center top of the domain.
Results must be symmetric without seeds, but then it's hard to control 
the starting location of strain localization.
