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 continuous adjustment of form to context, a hallmark of morphogenesis and the source of living order.
- The process of shaping each new construction element in direct response to the hollows, slopes, trees, paths, and other features of real land — not through construction drawings.
- The process by which a form responds to its unique local conditions, leading to uniqueness.
- The incremental unfolding characteristic of morphogenesis, where each step arises from the previous state.
- Weathering, leaning, and environmental adaptation that gives a fence or object more life.
- Real, non-stochastic adaptation where each piece is uniquely shaped to its place, not randomly varied.
- The ultimate goal of participation: an environment so deeply fitted to its users that genuine satisfaction and life emerge
- The small, precise adjustments made at each step of an unfolding process so that the new element fits the whole perfectly.
