  • The actual computational operations a model performs, which the paper argues need not mirror representational structure
  • Poset with join and meet operations satisfying associativity, commutativity, idempotency, and absorption laws.
  • data structuresconcept0.792
    Conventional programming constructs like variables, arrays; claimed unnecessary for Elephant programs.
  • The central question of whether representational geometry implies corresponding computational structure
  • Intersection Steenson researched in master's thesis on Cedric Price's Generator project; precursor to her work on AI and architecture.
  • The focus on visual imagery or style that leads to forms not attainable by structure-preserving steps.
  • The varied neural network architectures used in the RL experiments to test whether the alignment phenomenon generalizes across architectures.
  • Tree structureconcept0.756
    A hierarchical branching structure with single-parent nodes, which Alexander rejected for urban design.
