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 structure created by an unfolding, differentiating process that adapts each part deeply, achieving mistake-free, complex, living geometry. Contrasted with fabricated structure.
- Conventional programming constructs like variables, arrays; claimed unnecessary for Elephant programs.
- The actual computational operations a model performs, which the paper argues need not mirror representational structure
- The central question of whether representational geometry implies corresponding computational structure
- Data structures stored as collections of tuples in tuple space, accessible to many processes.
- The smaller centers, filigree, and surface articulation that complete the wholeness of the room.
- A hierarchical branching structure with single-parent nodes, which Alexander rejected for urban design.
- A structuring technique where each element of a result is computed by a separate process that turns into a data element; enables fine-grained parallelism.
