Mirrors have to do with reflection of visible light--- visibl to naked eye ---and that is a relatively narrow band of frequencies of radiation between 480 nano-meters and 780 nano-meters, approximately.
If we consider clear glass or water,then we go beyond the angles of reflection and get into angles of refraction, if I recall correctly.
Richard Feynman states in his book QED, forget what anybody tells you about photons as waves, because they only appear to us as [ finite quantum ] particles.
The Vector Equlibrium aka cubo-octahedron, is a 3D polyhedron that via its jitterbugging transformations, wil infold to Euclidean, triangulary expressed EM set of two sine-waves.
The VE/cubo-octahedron is unique polyhedron, in that its vectorial lines-of-chordal and radial relationship have equal values as well as being of the same number sets i.e. when constructed from 4 planes of paper or whatever medium, there is 24 chords and 24 radials.
These 4 planes are unique also, only if we consider the Euclidean polyhedron in spherical phases i.e. when we have spherical VE/cubo-octahedron, the outer surface area is equal to the surface area of the 4 great circle planes that define the VE.
This is reminiscent of a black hole's surface-area, event-horizon, that is believed to express all of the information contained within the black hole.
These 4 planes are in 60 degree coordination and if expanded outward away from each other, will at some place, define the four surface planes of tetrahedron. The tetrahedron being the minimal 3D polyhedral set of Universe.
60 degree coordination is three fundamental angles of and equilateral( regular ) triangle and total to 180.
There exists 18 kinds of quarks and 18 kinds of anti-quarks in Universe. 180 / 10 = 18
180 / 36 = 5
The asymmetrical VE/cubo-octahedron has 4-fold rotational symmetry
The regular/symmetrical icosahedron has a 5-fold( phi-based ) roatational symmetry.
The 5/phi-fold ico. has and associated 31 equaltorial/bisecting great planes, and 10 of those define potentially 5 overlapping sets VE's, altho only one or at best two VE sets--- because two VE requires 8 GrCPP's ---at a time.
There is much more to this story as we delve deeper into it. Another time perhaps.

Our conscious existence as reality, along with the conscious comprehension of the existence of a greater finite physical/energetic Universe as reality, is the greatest illusion of reality via those conscious experiences and the associated dreams and recalling of those experiences.
