The collage of 500 pictures shows a single invariant character common to all living structures.

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

• Every living structure is composed of thousands of pictures of the eternal self.claim0.815
  Conclusion drawn from the two propositions that makes the beings model explicit.
• The kind of order that occurs in living structure has a complexity not usually describable by drawings or by architectural images.claim0.789
  Emphasizes the non-pictorial, process-dependent nature of living order.
• There is nothing except the living structure of the world, and this living structure is all we need to reason with.claim0.786
  Radical assertion that function reduces to living structure, eliminating the need for external goals.
• The places shown are living structures because they have this character (coherence, roughness, humanity).claim0.785
  The selection criterion for the examples: their life resides precisely in their special character.
• Individual mechanical explanations for each property are too specific to provide a general explanation for why living structure repeatedly appears across all domains.claim0.784
  Alexander's argument that case-by-case mechanical explanations fail to address the universal recurrence of living structure
• The unfolding of wholeness through structure-preserving transformations must inevitably create the fifteen properties.hypothesis0.780
• The fifteen properties are fundamental to the existence of wholeness and thus to all physical structures, not merely visual features of artifacts.claim0.778
  The chapter's central thesis, arguing that the properties are necessary manifestations of wholeness in any generated system.
• Living structure is enormously susceptible to minor changes, and accuracy of detail is necessary for success.claim0.776
  Warning that the recursion of centers requires extreme precision.
