Function follows from well-ordered space, apparently because the forces we think of as functional are themselves geometric and themselves space-like.

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

• Space becomes more deeply functional and well-organized as it begins to resemble more deeply the human person; life in a center means the space begins to resemble the human selfclaim0.792
  Extraordinary structural claim: functional organization converges on resemblance to the human self
• The deep nature of space appears to be so profound that just the geometric unfolding, when done properly, leads to results which make sense from an engineering point of view.claim0.788
  The mystery that beautiful geometry often yields good structural behavior is acknowledged but not yet fully explained mathematically.
• When something works, or is functional, its space is awakened to a very high degree. It becomes alive. The space itself becomes alive.claim0.778
  Core thesis of the chapter: function is an awakening of the spatial medium.
• The beauty and force of any building arises always, and in its entirety, from the deep functional nature of the centers that have been created.claim0.775
  Core principle tying beauty directly to deeply functional centers.
• Good and functional structures achieve their quality from a conscious effort by the maker to make the geometric field of centers.claim0.773
  Challenges the 'form follows function' dogma; asserts that creators aimed at beauty first.
• Function is simply the dynamic aspect of wholeness.claim0.770
  Reinterprets function not as a list of goals but as the harmony of moving centers.
• Well-ordered ranges of sizes create a field effect that ties centers together to form a whole.claim0.760
  Explanation of how Levels of Scale property operates through emergent field phenomena.
• It is this injection of definite, strong, geometrical order that allows the profound depth of the made thing — the building in the land — and it is from this that the order must and will arise.claim0.760
  The geometric injection is the causal source of the building's profound depth
