Harmony-seeking computation is value-oriented rather than value-free, judging configurations by their contribution to larger wholes.

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

• Can we define precisely what it means to take steps which intensify latent structure in a configuration so that harmony-seeking computation can be performed systematically?question0.773
  Central question animating the paper: whether the intuitive process of preserving and enhancing wholeness can be formalized and automated.
• This harmony results because of a state of mind in which the makers actually see the wholeness directly and accurately: that is, they see the system of centers that forms the wholeness.claim0.771
  Cognitive basis of the traditional builder's ability.
• In every case, the process is straightforward, simple, and above all free: it allows the reality of the situation, the human needs, human joys, to find expression.claim0.745
  A summary generalization from the examples about the nature of living processes.
• acting to optimize value and perception are two aspects of exactly the same principle; namely the minimisation of a quantity [free energy] that bounds the probability of sensory input, given a particular agent or phenotype.quote0.739
  Concise statement of the free-energy principle's unification of action and perception.

• Value is an objective feature of nature; some parts have more life and are inherently more valuable than others, contradicting the value-free view of science.claim0.735
  Radical extension of the living-structure thesis into normative territory.
