Alternating repetition appears in nature where secondary repeating centers are coherent, e.g., waves and troughs, stripes and spaces.

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

• Alternating repetition is a natural way to embellish a flat rectangular panelclaim0.816
  This principle comes straight from structure-preserving ideas; the latent morphological field points to such structures.
• The beautiful balance of endless repetition and endless variation, typical in almost all of nature, and typical of the greatest of the ancient artefacts, may be coming within our grasp once again.quote0.810
  Expresses the aspiration of the new production method to recover a natural quality of order.
• Echoes of similar proportions and angles appear throughout any natural system due to uniform underlying processes, giving a consistent character to different parts.claim0.808
• The very same principles (positive space, alternating repetition, powerful centers) apply at every scale, from ornament to land and building structure.claim0.798
  Universality of the geometric principles across scales.
• Alternating Repetitionconcept0.787
  The property that living repetition is not simple repetition but alternation where a second system of centers repeats in parallel, creating counterpoint; what is really happening is oscillation, like waves
• What is really happening in living repetition is not repetition but oscillation—like a wave: one, then the other, then the one againclaim0.786
  Deep reinterpretation of the alternating repetition property as oscillation rather than mere repetition with variation
• We hypothesize that a similar 'brutal' and purely geometric process always occurs somewhere in other kinds of unfolding that generate living order — in poetry, dance, social structure, planning, and family relationships.hypothesis0.785
  Extends the brutal geometry thesis beyond architecture into all creative and social domains; acknowledged as not yet confirmed with certainty
• Such middle-range order appears, without fail, in biological structures of all sorts, again making it virtually certain that there must be a predictable process which can create such order, and which does create it reliably in biological cases.claim0.773
  Claims middle-range order is universal in biology and implies a reliable generative process exists
