The entities which appear in a configuration are not merely cognitive; they have a real mathematical existence.

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

• The centers which exist in a configuration have a real mathematical existence and are actually occurring features of the space itself.claim0.869
  Strengthens the claim that centers are not just psychological but physically real.
• All naturally occurring configurations lie in the set L of living structure; human-made configurations may lie outside L because humans can create unnatural forms.hypothesis0.811
• Approximately 85% of subjects perceive configurations analytically while 15% perceive figurally; figural perception is inherent in material and can be trained.finding0.795
  Early empirical result from Alexander's cognitive experiments showing that holistic perception of wholeness is less common but more 'real' than analytical categorization.
• "There is no truly monadic, indivisible yet cognitive being: all known minds reside in physical systems composed of components of various complexity and active behavior."concept0.790
• Whatever realities appear to an AI, they are domain-relative approximate representations always in flux, making emptiness an obvious fact about AI cognition that AIs should be aware ofclaim0.785
  Novel claim that emptiness is not mysterious metaphysics for AI but a computational commonplace
• Cognitive functions such as sentience are always inferred.claim0.782
  First sentence of the paper, establishing the inferential nature of all sentience attributions.
• The structures where life occurs just cannot be made in any other way — it is a categorical and mathematical must.claim0.782
• The aliveness structure appears in both biological and artificial systems in recognizable form.claim0.778
