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.
- Anton's synthesis, referenced as connected to this work
- A combinatory system of concrete rules that guides the implementation of adapted structure, oriented by the living process.
- Forms that arise from true unfolding, embodying the deepest invariant structure that can take a thousand faces.
- Spencer Brown's calculus of distinctions, showing all mathematics arising from contrast; cited to argue contrast is fundamental.
- A computational design method based on shape rewriting rules, developed by George Stiny; noted as academic and not yet practically useful for living structure.
- Logical minimization technique used to assume only specified events occur, aiding program verification.
- The tight, neat arrangement of varied internal spaces within a simple exterior volume without leftovers; creates strong geometric form that is adapted and flexible
- Scale where each object has all but one attribute.
