  • A structure-preserving transformation: using gradual change across space to soften and intensify transitions.
  • A transformation that develops a thick boundary zone around a zone to intensify its coherence.
  • Another term for a structure-preserving transformation, one which preserves structure and wholeness without abrupt disruption.
  • A transformation that applies similar angles, shapes, and procedures to different centers, creating family resemblance and deep unity.
  • A transformation that introduces intermediate-sized centers to fill out the hierarchy of scales, strengthening larger centers.
  • A transformation that removes unwanted centers and unnecessary complexity throughout the structure, leaving only essential centers.
