When we follow the fundamental process, we try to make, at each step, a real living center.

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

• At each step, doing the simplest thing that can be done to intensify existing centers will produce living structure.hypothesis0.849
  Operational hypothesis equating simplicity of step with emergence of life.
• How, in a living process, do we take the first steps of design so that a beautiful, coherent whole begins to take shape?question0.816
  Transition to the problem of design process.
• In a living process, every step is done in such a way as to increase the beauty—the life—of the whole.quote0.814
  Encapsulates the chapter's main message.
• In a living design process, every step must be concerned with the whole and must make the feeling of the whole more profound.claim0.811
  Restatement of the central principle in the context of the Claremont Canyon example.
• A living process is always natural, similar to the best kind of natural process, but it goes deeper and includes additional centers that naive natural process may miss.claim0.808
  Positions living process as an refined version of innate human creativity, not an artificial imposition.
• What starts as a latent center with potential becomes, under the fundamental process, a more developed complex center that includes a window and the space it creates.claim0.806
  Describes the transformation of latent centers.
• Every living process must necessarily be an adaptive, step-by-step process that creates unity by adapting the structure into harmony with what exists.claim0.806
• Only a deliberate process of creating being-like centers in built structure throughout the world encourages the world to become more alive.claim0.805
