concept
- Boundariesassociated_withrelated_toThe property that living centers are formed and strengthened by boundaries which both separate and unite; the boundary must be of the same order of magnitude as the center being bounded and is itself made of centers
- 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.

chapter
- The chapter argues that all living processes must proceed step by step with feedback, and that modern architecture fails because it lacks this core.

- A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
- A transformation that introduces intermediate-sized centers to fill out the hierarchy of scales, strengthening larger centers.
- Another term for a structure-preserving transformation, one which preserves structure and wholeness without abrupt disruption.
- A transformation that removes unwanted centers and unnecessary complexity throughout the structure, leaving only essential centers.
- A structure-preserving transformation: using gradual change across space to soften and intensify transitions.
- A transformation that introduces intentional irregularity so that repeating centers fit without forcing overall regularity, essential for wholeness.
