Even if every person on Earth made a living building once a second for a million centuries, they would not exhaust a billionth of C_living.

• If we were nevertheless trying to get our buildings conceived, designed, and built by the social processes which currently exist - the buildings would still inevitably break life and could not have life.hypothesis0.804
  Prediction about the incompatibility of modern processes with life.
• The creation of living structure cannot be done in any other way.claim0.789
• If a building is made by a process that allows fine adaptation through feedback, it will have life; if built from fixed drawings, it will not.hypothesis0.787
  Predictive conditional summarizing the chapter's argument.
• I doubt if we shall plumb the full extent to which a living structure is created until we have thoroughly explored and understood just what these ancient builders did, in what frame of mind they did it, and with what attitude.claim0.785
  A statement of incompleteness: our understanding misses the inner state of the builders, which is essential.
• Any part of the world we build will have life if it is created by structure-preserving transformations, and will not have life if it is not created by structure-preserving transformations.claim0.783
  The central thesis of the chapter.
• I believe that a builder who makes everything a hierarchy of beings in that primitive religious sense will, with no further instruction, succeed in making life in buildings.hypothesis0.773
  Predictive claim about the sufficiency of the being-rule for creating life.
• It is theoretically impossible to build a successful building from a set of drawings specifying every detail.claim0.773
  Because feedback is needed to shape elements during construction.
• To make a building that lives, it must be allowed to unfold step by step in real time, both before and during construction; we cannot fake it.claim0.773
  The necessity of real-time unfolding for authentic living architecture.
