- Denotational DesigncitesCore framework: methodology for typed, purely functional programming that uses precise semantic specification to inform both use and implementation
- MonoidimplementsStandard algebraic abstraction with identity (ε) and associative binary operation ('); used to specify Image overlay operations.
- ApplicativeimplementsType class for computations with multiple effects; Image instantiated with pure and <*> pointwise operations.
- FunctorimplementsStandard type class enabling structure-preserving mappings via fmap; Image instantiates as lift_1.
- ComonadimplementsDual to Monad; provides neighborhood operations (coreturn, cojoin) useful for spatial image transformations.
- Continuous Infinite Spaceassociated_withSemantic foundation for Image representation: assignment of colors to 2D locations in continuous space enables resolution-independence and composability

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.
- Method for controlling ion channels with light, used to rewrite bioelectric pattern memories and study morphogenesis.
- Christopher Alexander’s early method that decomposes design problems into a hierarchical tree of requirements and synthesizes form as a balance of forces.
- A functional type representing a mapping from 2D locations to colors (or other values), used for resolution-independent image synthesis.
- Exemplary domain-specific type in denotational design; denotation as location-to-color function (Loc → Color).
- A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
- Mental pictures, ideas, or rules that people use to guide their actions in building.
- Special case of immediate feedback loop where user interacts with artifacts in a lifelike manner, typically through cursor or finger-based dragging.
