concept
- Feedback Loopsrelated_toKey dimension analyzing how wide the gulfs of execution and evaluation are in a system and how they relate; uses concepts from The Design of Everyday Things.
- feedback processrelated_toThe dynamic where the designer reacts to the current state of the unfolding wholeness to determine the next step.
- Immediate Feedbackrelated_toA key ingredient of liveness where the evaluation gulf is minimized so effects of user changes are immediately visible with automatic demand of result.
- Living processassociated_withA generative process that repeatedly applies the fundamental process to create uniqueness and belonging in the environment
- A process of construction where design and building are interlinked, using continuous feedback from the emerging whole to shape each element uniquely.
Chapters (2)
chapter
- The chapter argues that all living processes must proceed step by step with feedback, and that modern architecture fails because it lacks this core.
- Chapter 15 of Vol. 3, arguing that the living quality of buildings depends on a process of making that allows continuous feedback and adaptation.

- The method of continuously walking the land, using stakes and string, to react to the emerging wholeness and adjust designs.
- Continuous checking of each step against the wholeness, allowing adaptation and course correction.
- The adaptive, incremental nature of living process, allowing small steps with continuous evaluation and adjustment.

- The experiential measure of life; a living process is congruent with and governed by feeling, and the feeling a place presents is the measure of its life.
- Bibliographical element: dialogic or antagonistic text, rarely indifferent, intervening within the space of the work.
- Reorienting in expectation of reinforcements; a cognitive quality in plants.
