- Echoesassociated_withrelated_toThe property that elements in a living whole share deep underlying similarity—a family resemblance—especially in angles and families of angles; the resemblance often lies in deepest structural relationships rather than superficial shape similarity
- Chapter 2 of Volume 2 of The Nature of Order, introducing structure-preserving transformations as the mechanism by which living structure arises naturally through unfolding wholeness.

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.
- A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
- A transformation that generates a repeating pattern of centers while simultaneously generating a second alternating set interlocked with the first.
- A transformation that introduces intentional irregularity so that repeating centers fit without forcing overall regularity, essential for wholeness.
- Another term for a structure-preserving transformation, one which preserves structure and wholeness without abrupt disruption.
- A structure-preserving transformation: using gradual change across space to soften and intensify transitions.
- A transformation that introduces intermediate-sized centers to fill out the hierarchy of scales, strengthening larger centers.
- A transformation that develops a thick boundary zone around a zone to intensify its coherence.
