The first thing to unfold will usually be the volume itself, actually an arrangement of volumes, as a primitive rectangle with minor rectangles accompanying it.

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

• An unfolding process, if faithfully applied, will dissolve any arbitrary initial image because reality and common sense will override it.claim0.792
  Key principle about images vs. unfolding.
• In nature, unfolding often consists of a process that establishes local symmetries one by one.claim0.782
  Connects biological morphogenesis to architectural process.
• Under a living process, as unfolding proceeds, the relative areas of these four components need to remain almost equal.claim0.779
  Invariant that living process maintains percentage balance.
• The order of sequence in unfolding determines whether parts become unique or modular.claim0.779
  Process-based explanation: if parts are designed too early they become modular; correct timing yields uniqueness.
• Even the drawing of a single animal is an example of unfolding.claim0.776
  All acts of making, including drawing, can be done through the fundamental process.
• Each room has four main stages to its unfolding: position, main centers, fine structure, tranquility.claim0.774
  The structural thesis of the chapter.
• The process of unfolding is always governed by the repeated application of the fundamental operation thousands and thousands of times.claim0.772
  Claim about the universality and pervasiveness of the center-making process at all scales and phases.
• Scale, above all, is vital; the right size of pieces only becomes clear when one is standing looking down at them.claim0.769
  Emphasizes the importance of full-scale physical judgment over scaled drawings.
