The field of centers at the heart of living structure is inherently so subtle that it can only be created dynamically, and its end-state is inherently unpredictable.

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

• Living structure—the field of centers—really is a mirror of the human heart.claim0.870
  The structural correspondence between the objective field of centers and the subjective human self.
• The intricate and beautiful structure of living centers comes about naturally, and most of the time without effort, as a result of the repeated application of structure-preserving transformations to the wholeness which exists.claim0.828
  Central interpretive claim of the chapter, asserting that living structure is an effortless natural outcome of structure-preserving transformations.
• When the field of centers is authentic, it is always personal; empty structure without personal feeling is structurally misjudgedclaim0.816
  Links structural authenticity to personal feeling as a necessary co-occurrence
• The structure which is created by a feeling for centers and by a conscious and deliberate aim towards the feeling of the whole, will often turn out to be an efficient structure.claim0.811

• My claim in Book 2 is that the intricate and beautiful structure of living centers comes about naturally, and most of the time without effort, as a result of the repeated application of structure-preserving transformations to the wholeness which exists.quote0.810
  Central thesis statement of the chapter, encapsulating the core idea that living structure arises effortlessly from structure-preserving transformations.
• The field of centers cannot be created as a by-product of some existing process; it comes about only when the entire process is organized and concentrated on creating a living field.claim0.810
  Focus on anything else yields something else.
