Not-Separateness
about
The property that a living whole is at one with the world, not separate from it; the center melts into its surroundings, the boundary is fragmented or incomplete, and there is a profound connection rather than isolation—perhaps the most important property of all

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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

It is, indeed, this pattern of the middle-sized entities, which most strongly gives overall geometric order to the building. Without it, a building is very unlikely to be beautiful.claim0.729
Identifies the pattern of middle-range entities as the primary source of overall geometric order and beauty
I cannot make a thing which has this not-separateness, unless I honestly want it.claim0.722
The necessity of sincere desire for not-separateness on the part of the maker.
Nearly all great traditional buildings contain such successful structure, making us believe that this differentiating process must have been a predictable and reliable process.claim0.721
Uses traditional architecture as evidence that the generative sequence is historically reliable
Not-separateness is finally perhaps the most important property of all—without it even a center with the other fourteen properties can be strangely separate, lonely, too egocentricclaim0.721
Claim that connectedness to surroundings is the culminating property; without it, beautiful centers shout 'look at me' rather than healing
The existence of widely agreed‑upon lists of great buildings suggests a shared perception of life in buildings.claim0.720
Argues for intersubjective agreement about the quality of life.
The building as a whole is virtually pure art.claim0.718
Claim that the pattern of solid and void, the creation of centers, is pure art, not a mixture of practical and art.
The main room of a building—in size, position, light, volume, character, and structure—must be unforgettable.claim0.717
Rule for the most important room.
A successful large building will always show subtle syncopation of regularity combined with gentle accommodation to the land, with a continuous range of scales down to the most intimate details.claim0.716
Summary of the geometric invariants that result from living process in large buildings.
