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 overarching coherence and unity that must be enhanced at every step; the target of all living process.
- Fixed-point free partial injective functions used as simple reversible dynamical processes in Geometry of Interaction.
- Emerging technique of shooting concrete over welded wire fabric to form hollow columns, beams, and arches with high moment of inertia at low material weight.
- Integrated, living structures that emerge from morphogenetic piecemeal growth.
- A structure assembled from fixed components or designed without the deep, step-by-step differentiation of a generated structure; inherently full of mistakes and lacking life.
- Alexander's foundational assertion inverting conventional understanding of composition; central to understanding centers and the Fifteen Properties.
- The authors' characterization of genuine but limited introspective capability found only in early-layer injection regimes
- Defines the paradoxical quality of a living whole in architecture.
