We human beings will have achieved the structure-preserving unfolding achieved by flowers and grasses on a hillside.

• The form of the garden, and its living structure, come from progressive unfolding the position of one plant continuing and unfolding from the earlier growth of another.claim0.817
  Definition of garden form as a sequential, emergent process.
• In nature, unfolding often consists of a process that establishes local symmetries one by one.claim0.798
  Connects biological morphogenesis to architectural process.
• That is the essence of all gardens, and all agriculture: that built materials, human-made structures create a setting in which people, animals and plants can thrive.claim0.789
  Definitional claim about gardens as a symbiosis of built structure and living nature.
• In order to make buildings by unfolding - hence by structure-preserving transformations - it is necessary, truly, to pay attention to the wholeness in the world. This 'paying attention to the wholeness' is essentially synonymous with love of life.quote0.788
  Connection between process, attention, and love.
• In order to make buildings by unfolding, it is necessary to pay attention to the wholeness in the world. This 'paying attention to the wholeness' is essentially synonymous with love of life.claim0.784
  Connection between process, perception, and love.
• In nature the principle of unfolding wholeness creates living structure nearly all the time. Human designers, who are not constrained by this unfolding, can violate the wholeness if they wish to, and can therefore create non-living structure as often as they choose.quote0.783
  Encapsulates the distinction between natural and human-made order, central to Alexander's critique of contemporary architecture.
• A truly dynamic structure-preserving process generates layouts in which every single bit of space becomes a living center — streets, lots, gardens, courtyards, housesclaim0.780
  Core claim about the morphological output of the fundamental process applied to neighborhood design.
• If a structure-preserving unfolding process is applied to existing cultural wholeness, it can non-arbitrarily derive the patterns that should generate present and future environmentshypothesis0.780
  Alexander's retrospective hypothesis about how the pattern origin problem could have been solved twenty years earlier
