The fifteen properties define the enormous family of systems, among all possible systems, which have life in them

Claim that the properties collectively characterize the morphologically complex but recognizable family of all living spatial systems across cultures, climates, and technologies spanning 3500 years

concept

Life as a Quality of Space
extends
The idea that life is not merely an attribute of living organisms but an attribute of space itself; any spatial system can have more or less life depending on the life of its component centers and their density

The fifteen properties are the very simplest things which can possibly be used as a basis for assembly of a living thing, and it is from simplicity that they ultimately derive.claim0.880
Justification for using the fifteen transformations as a foundation.
The fifteen properties are not independent; they overlap, and each property is partly defined in terms of the other fifteen propertiesclaim0.855
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
The fifteen properties are the glue through which space is able to be unified; they are the substance of the life which can exist in a systemclaim0.853
Metaphorical claim that the properties are not merely characteristics we like but the actual substance binding space into living unity
The fifteen properties are the ways centers sustain each other's coherence, thereby contributing to the stability and robustness of natural systems.claim0.848
Proposed as the reason the properties appear in functionally stable or semistable systems.
The fifteen properties are fundamental to the existence of wholeness and thus to all physical structures, not merely visual features of artifacts.claim0.837
The chapter's central thesis, arguing that the properties are necessary manifestations of wholeness in any generated system.
The fifteen properties are not merely visual features which appear in works of art. ... they must be fundamental to the appearance of life in all centers that are generated or created in any system.quote0.836
Foundation of the chapter's argument that the properties transcend aesthetics and are fundamental to all physical reality.
The fifteen properties necessarily accompany the centers and symmetries in living structure.claim0.830
The fifteen properties appear in nature because they are structural complements to the formation of stable and semistable systems, contributing to coherence and stability.hypothesis0.827
