Exaggerated focus on isolated functional requirements that disrupts the wholeness and prevents the emergence of deep feeling.

Chapter 14: Deep Feeling
introduces
The chapter presenting the argument that deep feeling is the core of living process, illustrated with examples from architecture, painting, and design.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Functionalismframework0.693
Epistemological position that what any phenomenon is is its causal/operational role; rejects hidden essence; foundational to CIMC's stance
Functional Programmingframework0.684
One of the three major competing approaches to parallel programming mentioned in the paper; used for comparison with Linda.
Functional Tokenconcept0.683
A discrete token in the vocabulary that represents a visual operation (e.g., <|Line|>, <|Shape|>, <|Text|>), generated via next-token prediction within autoregressive sequences.
Functional closureconcept0.683
The property of a subsystem that cannot influence others; used to lesion systems in simulations.
Functional Adaptationconcept0.678
The deep fit between a building's form and its functional requirements, achieved only through differentiation.
functional complexityconcept0.676
Flusser’s category of complexity where a system provides a complex use (like chess), enabling creative plays.
Functional Faithfulnessconcept0.664
Empirical effect where intervening on one feature induces coherent shifts across multiple linguistic dimensions aligned with the target attribute.
freedom as appropriate reactionconcept0.659
True freedom is the ability a person has to react appropriately to any given circumstance.
