Parts created during the process of differentiation must become locally unique; otherwise the process is not a living process.

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

• A living process always creates something unique at every point, respecting the uniqueness of every person and every place.claim0.854
• If design and construction processes are living processes, each part will become itself, adapted to local conditions and individual people.claim0.848
  Core assertion that living process translates unique place and person into unique form.
• If it is a living process, it will create beautiful geometric structure. If it does not create beautiful structure, it cannot truly be a living process.claim0.825
  Beauty and geometry are the talisman by which a living process is known.
• Every living process must necessarily be an adaptive, step-by-step process that creates unity by adapting the structure into harmony with what exists.claim0.823
• 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.claim0.822
  Alexander's claim that the limiting factor in creating living structure is not method but the maker's persistence.
• The step-by-step evolution of living centers, in a progressive differentiating process, is a biological necessity — an essential part of the adaptation of a complex system.claim0.820
  Claims that unfolding is not a stylistic choice but a biological requirement for adaptive buildings.
• Under a living process, as unfolding proceeds, the relative areas of these four components need to remain almost equal.claim0.817
  Invariant that living process maintains percentage balance.
• The creation of living structure cannot be done in any other way.claim0.817
