Free Lunch (Competency Without Cost)

Unexpected competencies (e.g., triangle's third angle, NAND-gate universality) obtained without the expected cost of design or selection.

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.

Proximityconcept0.814
Powerful structural force in diagrams; controls associations and semantic relations between elements.
Relatednessconcept0.761
The direct, felt connection between a person and living structure in the world, which Alexander claims is the most fundamental relation.
Adjacent-Inter-Onset-Interval Vectormethod0.756
What is that 'something' that underlies the relatedness?question0.738
The search for the name and nature of the presence.
parallel conjunctionconcept0.735
AND-parallelism construct that allows sub-results to be pursued simultaneously.
Adjacent Inter-Onset-Interval Vector Notationmethod0.735
Representation of rhythms as strings of non-negative integers indicating duration intervals between onsets; enables comparison with Euclidean strings.
Overlapping Consensusconcept0.724
Agreement on policies endorsed by different worldviews for different reasons; drawn from Rawls and applied to AI consciousness.
Surroundingmethod0.720
Attribute: a higher level of aggression in containment, fully encircling a text, limiting egress.
