The act of shaking hands structurally instantiates local symmetry, deep interlock, boundary, alternating repetition, and not-separateness — explaining its felt power

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

• We certainly feel different degrees of life in different human events; a handshake can be full of life or mechanical.claim0.791
  Extends the perception of life to social events.
• Local symmetries act as a kind of glue which holds space together; the more glue there is, the more the space is one, solid, unified, coherent—and the symmetrical segments must overlap for the glue to be effectiveclaim0.758
  Interpretation of the experimental finding: overlapping local symmetries are the hidden structural feature that creates perceived wholeness
• The Shaker box finger joint started as a formal intuition about the field of centers, and then gradually fitted itself to the functional problem at hand.claim0.742
  Example supporting the thesis that beauty precedes and leads to function.
• The process of adding local symmetries in a structure-preserving way intensifies the feeling, and when carried out fully leads to the emergence of the archetype.claim0.741
• Felt states can be achieved in multiple ways and by many different biological substrates, analogous to how computation is multiply realizable.hypothesis0.739
  Foundational hypothesis bridging multiple realizability principle to consciousness; core argument for plant sentience possibility.
• The unassuming, ordinary, touching quality can only be created by a living process, by unfolding.claim0.737
  Strong exclusivity claim: only unfolding produces genuine ordinariness that touches people.
• With one motion the door of possibility slams shut. And so we collapse our world into something less magical but more manageable, one clench at a time.concept0.735
  Load-bearing metaphorical summary of how vascular tension enacts tanha's compression mechanism; captures paper's core insight.
• In buildings, especially, the success of the process will be judged by the extent to which these middle-range entities appear with their own distinct symmetries, with their own definite and distinct force as strong centers.claim0.734
  Proposes middle-range entity quality as the criterion for judging the success of a building process
