- The conclusion of the argument that no real separation exists.
- Opening sentence of the chapter, encapsulating the natural origin of ornament.
- The central thesis: embellishment is spontaneous, coming from the latent centers in the uncompleted thing requiring still more structure.
- Ornament is the detail that forms as the process constantly refines the centers that are there during making.
- Core principle tying beauty directly to deeply functional centers.
- New cosmological assumption #6: both are aspects of the field of centers.
- The function of a thing and its ornament are not two separable features; they are inseparable.claim0.807Argument that practical function and ornamental beauty are one when a thing is well made.
- Universal claim about all living architecture.
