The diagrammatic workings of relations across elements is crucial to the emergent and contingent identity and operation of any element or feature in the system.

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

• The rhetorical force of diagrammatic expression can never be reduced to absolutes, stable entities, or autonomous effects. The relational system of diagrammatic writing is always emergent and conditional, its values relative, its production of effects inexhaustibly variable and specific.claim0.786
  Final meta-claim on the irreducible relativity and specificity of the system.
• A diagram is an image that works. It spatializes semantic value, using the graphic features of spatial organization to express the semantic value of relations.concept0.773
  Definitive statement of diagrammatic reasoning as a meaning-producing system based on spatial organization.

• Diagrams can be understood as a strategy to deal with the structural complexity of the apparatus, enabling the creation of new games.claim0.764
  Following Flusser’s challenge, the paper claims that cybernetic diagrams are meta-tools for designing new rule systems.
• 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.quote0.758
  Alexander's distillation of why the dynamic process produces living results that top-down design cannot.
• The relation between a person's own wholeness and the wholeness of things in their environment is a direct consequence of the nature of wholeness itself.claim0.758
• Organised structure of relationships between component parts causes them to work together, creating new organismic entity and evolutionary unitclaim0.756
