In embryological development, chemistry and cell migrations are mechanisms that do the work but are simply not the principal thing going on — the fifteen properties and their unfolding are.

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

• The fifteen properties emerge directly and inevitably from the unfolding of the whole; it is these fifteen properties that guide all differentiations during development.claim0.805
  Alexander's claim that living structure properties are not incidental but are the operative mechanisms of wholeness-preserving transformation
• The larger task of making these processes genuinely morphogenetic so that they generate deeper and more coherent living structure—still lies on the horizon.claim0.795
• Every living process resembles, in general terms, the process which underlies the unfolding of an embryo—morphogenesis.claim0.795
  Deep structural analogy that argues living process in architecture mirrors biological differentiation and division.
• In frog embryo development, each transformation introduces new structure in the form of new asymmetrically placed local symmetries inducing new layers of differentiation without dispersing the underlying deep structure.finding0.783
  Embryological finding showing the specific mechanism — insertion of new local symmetries — by which wholeness is preserved and extended in biological development
• How can purely physical processes produce new structures that include not only new combinations of physical materials but also new information-based mechanisms for producing and controlling complex behaviours?question0.783
  Sloman's extension of Schrödinger's puzzle to the emergence of information-based control in development.
• Cells maintain internal representations of correct anatomical structure (target morphology) that causally constrain growth, regeneration, and repair.claim0.782
• The issue is not whether the process will produce living structure if done faithfully — it will — but whether the maker has the stamina and will to keep rejecting versions that lack life.claim0.782
  Alexander's claim that the limiting factor in creating living structure is not method but the maker's persistence.
• Living processes are by nature morphogenetic; they are aimed at creating positive space and making form coherent.claim0.779
  Core definition of living process as intentionally form-creating, in contrast to fragmented modern processes.
