By removing correlations during compression, the resulting engram looks increasingly random, requiring creative interpretation.

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

• Echoes of similar proportions and angles appear throughout any natural system due to uniform underlying processes, giving a consistent character to different parts.claim0.765
• Contrast, instead of separating things, brings them together when used to help centers become alive; contrast that fails to create deeper feeling is merely accidental or eye-catchingclaim0.753
  Claim distinguishing good contrast (Shaker schoolroom, which unifies) from bad contrast (glaring lobby staircase, which separates)
• 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.hypothesis0.748
  Extends the brutal geometry thesis beyond architecture into all creative and social domains; acknowledged as not yet confirmed with certainty
• The experimental method of starting with a vision and adding color to create life in the centers has predictable results: the eleven invariants.claim0.748
  Assertion that the process yields a specific set of color qualities, listed in the chapter.
• You can only get the profound multiple structure of centers by unfolding each bit from the previous state, allowing the next layer of structure to appear from the previously established layers.claim0.747
  Explains why time and sequence are essential for generated complexity.
• DAS achieves substantial causal effect even on arbitrary input-output mappings where no causal mechanism should existfinding0.747
  Replication of Wu et al. 2023 finding; DAS expressivity concern validated in CausalGym setup
• In assembling the pattern, it is necessary from time to time, to examine the state of the pattern many atoms away, if one is to be sure of not making a serious error when putting the pieces together.quote0.747
  Penrose's statement about quasicrystal assembly, used as evidence that non-local action is required in natural morphogenesis
• In hundreds of examples, our ability to see the field of centers and to produce the centers indicated geometrically tends to produce an object which works better.claim0.745
  Empirical generalisation from built examples, with no counterexample found.
