Forms exist as constraints (attractors in description-space), not as objects—different representational languages converge upon the same constraints.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Unless we have a form language that supports the necessities of living structure, then living structure is simply out of our reach.claim0.786
  Central thesis of the chapter: form language is a prerequisite for living structure.
• We shall only be able to reproduce versions and combinations of what can be 'reached' by that form language.quote0.783
  States that the form language delimits what buildings can be created.
• Unless we have a form language which supports the necessities of living structure, then living structure is simply out of our reach.quote0.782
  Emphasizes the necessity of a form language for achieving living structure.
• A form language able to produce life must be a system of transformations which allows living centers to be created, one by one.claim0.782
  Defines the requirement for an effective form language.
• How do representations differ or converge between architectures, tasks, and modalities?question0.781
  Broader research question MAS is positioned to address, citing multiple recent works.
• The entities which appear in a configuration are not merely cognitive; they have a real mathematical existence.claim0.776
  Rejects a purely psychological interpretation of centers in favor of an objective existence.
• The centers which exist in a configuration have a real mathematical existence and are actually occurring features of the space itself.claim0.775
  Strengthens the claim that centers are not just psychological but physically real.
• The proposed framework erases artificial distinctions between organisms and machines by framing all physical constructs as in-formed, to varying degrees, by patterns from the latent spaceclaim0.773
  Central thesis statement of the abstract.
