Alternating-Repetition Transformation

A transformation that generates a repeating pattern of centers while simultaneously generating a second alternating set interlocked with the first.

Alternating Repetition

The property that living repetition is not simple repetition but alternation where a second system of centers repeats in parallel, creating counterpoint; what is really happening is oscillation, like waves
Structure-Preserving Transformations
uses
Chapter 2 of Volume 2 of The Nature of Order, introducing structure-preserving transformations as the mechanism by which living structure arises naturally through unfolding wholeness.

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.
