Computer simulations cannot yet provide the level of subtlety or depth to judge the visceral effect of complex building spaces; therefore they cannot replace real-world step-by-step feedback.

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

• Learned simulations can be partially observed and lazily-rendered, and still work.claim0.800
  One of the updates about prosaic ML simulation.
• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.791
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• The feeling of such a floor cannot be accurately judged from a drawing made in advance.claim0.786
  Justification for physical mockups and on-site design adaptation.
• Simulations of a generative process (done in the laboratory) are essential to test that the defined process generates coherent complex variable morphology before applying it to real landclaim0.782
  Alexander's methodological justification for using the Guasare simulation studies.
• Modern architectural design typically creates a schematic drawing containing hundreds of untested decisions, with no step-by-step testing against real life.claim0.782
  Critique of current design practice: hundreds of variables frozen at once.
• It is basically impossible to determine if a computer program generates conscious experience by merely observing its performance; a test for consciousness must take internal structure into account.claim0.780
  Paper's argument against behavioral tests for consciousness, establishing why MCH requires internal analysis
• Using real-place simulation, one can reliably determine the optimal dimensions and orientations of urban spaces.claim0.779
  Assertion that the Oakland experiments show the method's reliability.
• For step-by-step adaptation to be effective, there must be built-in feedback that checks each step immediately for its increase of life, accepted if it has it, rejected if not.claim0.778
  Feedback as the essential companion to step-by-step work.
