claim:the-fifteen-properties-are-not-independent-they-overlap-and-each-property-is-partly-defined-in-terms-of-the-other-fifteen-properties

The fifteen properties are not independent; they overlap, and each property is partly defined in terms of the other fifteen properties

Meta-claim about the logical structure of the properties: the more carefully each is defined, the more it relies on the others, revealing their common origin in the field of centers

Fifteen Properties of Living Structure
supports
The set of geometric properties that appear in all living structure: levels of scale, strong centers, boundaries, echoes, gradients, deep interlock and ambiguity, local symmetries, roughness, inner calm, not separateness, and others.
