  • Field effectconcept0.747
    An emergent ordering created by a well-arranged structure of centers of different sizes, binding them into a whole.
  • Normalized EI bounded 0-1, decomposed into determinism minus degeneracy.
  • butterfly effectconcept0.723
    Tiny differences in initial conditions can lead to vastly divergent outcomes, explaining why living structure must be created dynamically.
  • laws of formconcept0.722
    Spencer Brown's calculus of distinctions, showing all mathematics arising from contrast; cited to argue contrast is fundamental.
