A strong center in an interface is diagnostic of quality; sycophantic mirrors have no center, kitchen-sink outputs have too many.

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

• In buildings, especially, the success of the process will be judged by the extent to which these middle-range entities appear with their own distinct symmetries, with their own definite and distinct force as strong centers.claim0.791
  Proposes middle-range entity quality as the criterion for judging the success of a building process
• Centers are above all, labile, they are foci of wholeness, they are not things, but regions, qualities, focal points of centeredness.quote0.766
  Key definition capturing the non-atomic, relational nature of centers as fields rather than objects.
• Mirror and Deathbed tests measure orthogonal facets of quality; what feels most alive differs from what merits preservation.claim0.759
• Strong centers occur throughout the physical world, from splashing drops to galaxies, with many processes radiating from central nodes.claim0.751
• Living structure—the field of centers—really is a mirror of the human heart.claim0.750
  The structural correspondence between the objective field of centers and the subjective human self.
• Every strong center is made of many other strong centers—a multiplicity of centers at different levels which engages us; the concept is recursive, not referring to one grand centerclaim0.749
  Recursive definition of strong centers: they are composed of and supported by other strong centers at multiple scales
• Strong centers and equilibrium prices are equivalent mechanisms: stable attractors that organize systems without explicit direction.claim0.749
• Good interface design reveals the underlying computational architecture to the user.claim0.748
  Core interpretive claim about the relationship between transparency and usability.
