A diagram spatializes semantic value using graphic features of spatial organization to express relations

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

• A diagram is an image that works. It spatializes semantic value, using the graphic features of spatial organization to express the semantic value of relations.concept0.907
  Definitive statement of diagrammatic reasoning as a meaning-producing system based on spatial organization.
• Diagrams spatialize semantic value into legible graphical systemsclaim0.898
  A diagram is an image that works by converting semantic relations into spatial organization, making meaning through form rather than content alone.
• Semantic relations through graphical formconcept0.821
  Central claim that meaning emerges from spatial positioning and relational organization of elements on a page.
• Graphical expression of semantic relationsconcept0.816
  Core principle that spatial positioning, proximity, and graphical features constitute a meaning-making system independent of textual content.
• Hierarchy and subordination through spatial organizationclaim0.797
  Drucker argues that indentation, size, placement, and relative position create hierarchies not as moral values but as relational effects within a system.
• The features are often organized in geometrically-related clusters that share a semantic relationship.claim0.790
  Decoder cosine similarity maps onto concept similarity.
• A Diagram is an Image that Worksclaim0.787
• There is a bidirectional relationship between the geometry of representation and behavior across tasks and modalities.claim0.786
  Author’s interpretive claim that the shared geometry is general and robust.
