cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- The subtle differences among repeated elements necessary to avoid mechanical uniformity.
- Properties that bind centers together, used to describe morphogenetic sequences.
- Hidden genetic variation that is neutral under normal conditions but can be revealed under stress; MCA enables its persistence.
- Formal descriptive system for the adaptive processes by which centers in structures reconfigure and enhance themselves during morphogenesis.
- The color property that areas of a single color vary in hue and tone, avoiding flatness; like roughness, it brings the color to life through internal variety.
- Mathematical framework for approximating posterior beliefs; converts exact Bayesian inference into optimization.
- Method to obtain time-dependent conditional densities by maximizing variational free energy.
- Framework for physics of sentient systems; cited for understanding consciousness across substrates.
