configurational properties

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

• configurational variationconcept0.786
  The vast variety of shapes and sizes in morphogenetic living forms, impossible under blueprint planning.
• Configuration Spaceconcept0.760
  The ensemble of all possible configurations of a building, including incomplete states and paths between them.
• 15 Configurational Transformationsmethod0.739
  Formal descriptive system for the adaptive processes by which centers in structures reconfigure and enhance themselves during morphogenesis.
• The fifteen properties are the very simplest things which can possibly be used as a basis for assembly of a living thing, and it is from simplicity that they ultimately derive.claim0.736
  Justification for using the fifteen transformations as a foundation.
• domain C (all possible configurations)concept0.734
  The set of all possible three-dimensional arrangements that might exist, used to contrast natural vs. unnatural forms.
• Sticky propertiesconcept0.722
• domain L (living configurations)concept0.722
  The set of all configurations possessing living structure, a small subset of C that nature consistently produces.
• The fifteen properties are fundamental to the existence of wholeness and thus to all physical structures, not merely visual features of artifacts.claim0.722
  The chapter's central thesis, arguing that the properties are necessary manifestations of wholeness in any generated system.
