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.
- The property that living structures contain centers that are not merely blobs but strong, field-like centers that organize the space around them; every strong center is made of many other strong centers recursively
- The condition for maximum life in a center.
- Hierarchy of centers determines overall life.
- Overarching conceptual scheme from The Nature of Order where a whole makes its parts, which are called centers, and centers intensify each other.
- Proposed to explain how life can emerge from space itself.
- The quality of a center that intensifies when it helps a larger center; the vital core of every center.
- Centers do not have sharp edges; their influence fades, making boundary-drawing problematic, which is why 'center' is preferred over 'whole'.
- The fundamental question about the nature of centers, addressed through recursive definition.
