The advent of computers has made it possible, for the first time, to have mechanized procedures that are inherently flexible and context-sensitive, approximating organic living processes.

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

• Awareness that living process will change our means of production entirely is only beginning to sink in.claim0.809
  Visionary statement about the transformative potential of adopting step-by-step process.
• Possibly the most basic and necessary feature of any living process is the fact that it goes gradually.claim0.805
  Core thesis of the chapter: gradual, step-by-step progression is the bedrock of life.
• Every living process must necessarily be an adaptive, step-by-step process that creates unity by adapting the structure into harmony with what exists.claim0.805
• A living process only rarely creates living centers from scratch; it must use pre-established generic centers — patterns — encoding successful adaptationsclaim0.803
  Grounded in Holland's schemata theory and the biological gene analogy
• The core of all living process is step-by-step adaptation — the modification and evolution which happen gradually in response to information about the degree to which the emerging structure supports the whole.claim0.800
  Definition of the essential mechanism of living structure formation.
• A living process is always natural, similar to the best kind of natural process, but it goes deeper and includes additional centers that naive natural process may miss.claim0.795
  Positions living process as an refined version of innate human creativity, not an artificial imposition.
• Living process may be characterized by the idea that it is the simplest process which exists in any given set of circumstances.claim0.791
  A core definitional claim about the nature of living process.
• Living processes are by nature morphogenetic; they are aimed at creating positive space and making form coherent.claim0.791
  Core definition of living process as intentionally form-creating, in contrast to fragmented modern processes.
