Representation as explanatory strategy and autonomy as constitutive process generate an apparent contradiction that may not need to be dissolved but confronted, opening a wider domain of understanding.

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

• The essence of the process is that it generates coherent, yet quite unpredictable structure, simply by applying a few simple rules to a piece of land and its natural idiosyncracies.quote0.782
  Alexander's distillation of why the dynamic process produces living results that top-down design cannot.
• 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.claim0.781
  A summary generalization from the examples about the nature of living processes.
• what is the precise characterization of the perceptual representational format in which information exists as a specific, sustained, globally constitutive structure?question0.779
  Open theoretical problem CIMC acknowledges: precisely characterizing the representational format of perception
• Deliberation: discussion and negotiation grounded in "mutual justification, respect, and reciprocal fairness" (Warren et al. 2015).quote0.775
  The paper's operative definition of deliberation.
• Explaining self-organizing action requires narrative (hermeneutic) explanation, not deductive law-like subsumption.claim0.775
  Justifies why dynamical accounts necessitate stories; historical, contextual unfolding cannot be captured by timeless laws.
• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.772
  Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
• An unfolding process, if faithfully applied, will dissolve any arbitrary initial image because reality and common sense will override it.claim0.770
  Key principle about images vs. unfolding.
• Precise characterization of the perceptual representational format — specific, sustained, globally constitutive — remains an open problemconcept0.767
  Acknowledged gap in CIMC's theory: the exact computational description of the perceptual regime is not yet specified
