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.
- Alexander's foundational assertion inverting conventional understanding of composition; central to understanding centers and the Fifteen Properties.
- Integrated, living structures that emerge from morphogenetic piecemeal growth.
- First principle of the unfolding vision.
- The idea that centers are not built from pre-existing parts; instead, parts are generated by the wholeness, like a whirlpool in a stream.
- Defines the paradoxical quality of a living whole in architecture.
- Illustrates the interdependence of centers; a column is not isolated.
