cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Evolutionary fitness hypothesis tested in the GA.
- Summarizing Selye's model.
- Physical chemistry finding illustrating a purely local mechanism that nonetheless produces global structure preservation
- Encapsulates the core idea of stress sharing as collective cooperation.
- Shared stress raises the 'temperature' or exploratory activity of neighboring cells, enabling passage for stressed cells.
