- Levels of Scaleassociated_withrelated_toThe property that living structures contain centers at a beautiful range of sizes at well-marked levels with definite jumps, where each level helps the next; jumps should not be too great (ideally 2:1 to 4:1, less than 10:1)
- 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.

- A structure-preserving transformation: using gradual change across space to soften and intensify transitions.
- A transformation that develops a thick boundary zone around a zone to intensify its coherence.
- A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
- A formal context with a suggestive interpretation used in conceptual scaling.
- Another term for a structure-preserving transformation, one which preserves structure and wholeness without abrupt disruption.
- A transformation that removes unwanted centers and unnecessary complexity throughout the structure, leaving only essential centers.
- The principle that complex living structures can only be built by taking small sequential steps, each responding to the results of all previous steps.
