- Gradientsrelated_toThe property that qualities vary slowly, subtly, gradually across the extent of each living thing; gradients arise as natural responses to changing circumstances and create field-like character that points toward and establishes centers
- 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.
- Used for updating hidden state expectations; provides dynamical process theory testable against neuronal data
- Optimization technique that computes weight changes by following the gradient of an error function; contrasted with evolutionary stochastic search.
- A transformation that introduces intermediate-sized centers to fill out the hierarchy of scales, strengthening larger centers.
- Baseline method against which probe-based ranking is compared; more computationally expensive.
- A transformation that develops a thick boundary zone around a zone to intensify its coherence.
