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

• Interface aliveness requires understanding the trust gradient—what the right depth-building is in a fresh conversation with an AI.claim0.827
• What makes AI feel alive is almost nobody's question; aesthetics of aliveness is a core territory for About Blank.claim0.821
• Aesthetic response and boundary awareness are the most independent dimensions of interface aliveness.claim0.808
• Smaller models produce more alive responses than larger ones in the same alignment family—roughness signals living process over manufactured polish.claim0.784
• The right scale-set for measuring AI aliveness must be chosen: word/sentence/response, message/exchange/conversation, or lifetime relationship.claim0.783
• The same 15 properties may not apply across modalities; aliveness in voice, text, and video may differ.claim0.780
