The symmetry is broken by "1" being different from "2". The probabilities express logical uncertainty, and so essentially depend on what happens to be provable given finite resources and epistemic state of the agent, for which implementation detail matters. The asymmetry is thus hidden in mathematical intuition, and is not visible in the parts of UDT explicitly described.
