What is really happening in living repetition is not repetition but oscillation—like a wave: one, then the other, then the one again

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

• What kind of repetition is generated by a living process?question0.819
  Rhetorical question introducing the section on how repetition works in living systems.
• Alternating repetition appears in nature where secondary repeating centers are coherent, e.g., waves and troughs, stripes and spaces.claim0.786
• A living process always creates something unique at every point, respecting the uniqueness of every person and every place.claim0.768
• We hypothesize that a similar 'brutal' and purely geometric process always occurs somewhere in other kinds of unfolding that generate living order — in poetry, dance, social structure, planning, and family relationships.hypothesis0.763
  Extends the brutal geometry thesis beyond architecture into all creative and social domains; acknowledged as not yet confirmed with certainty
• The issue is not whether the process will produce living structure if done faithfully — it will — but whether the maker has the stamina and will to keep rejecting versions that lack life.claim0.757
  Alexander's claim that the limiting factor in creating living structure is not method but the maker's persistence.
• The living structure emerges, slowly, step by step, and as the process goes forward step by step there is continuous feedback which allows the process to guide the system towards greater wholeness, and coherence, and adaptation.quote0.757
  Concise definition of the core dynamic of living process.
• The art of making something living is sought again and again, avidly — it is like food.claim0.751
• The kind of order that occurs in living structure has a complexity not usually describable by drawings or by architectural images.claim0.751
  Emphasizes the non-pictorial, process-dependent nature of living order.
