Ongoing Computerized Neighborhood Diagnosis

Alexander's proposal that every neighborhood maintain an updated computer-based diagnosis to guide all future capital expenditure.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

method

Diagnosis
extends
The method of examining a neighborhood meter by meter to identify healthy and damaged places as the basis for ongoing repair.

The working unit being extracted; covers dynamic neighborhood generation, structure-preserving transformations, and case studies in Colombia, Venezuela, Israel, and San Francisco.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
