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

• Life itself is a recursive effect which occurs in space. It can only be understood recursively as the mutual intensification of life by life.claim0.849
  Attempts to define life-in-space without external reference.
• Recursive Character of Lifeconcept0.838
  The property that centers get their life from supporting larger centers, and larger centers are intensified by smaller ones, forming a recursive network.
• Phenomenon of Lifeconcept0.827
  The observable emergence of life-quality from wholeness; both a functional and aesthetic quality in buildings and nature.
• Defining life as a semiotic phenomenonclaim0.773
  Emmeche's position that living systems are fundamentally semiotic; supports biosemiotic approach to cognition.
• Recursion of Living Centersconcept0.745
  The property by which living structure appears more and more deeply as centers are refined within centers, visible in the 13th-century carpet blossom.
• The idea that life is an inherent attribute of space itself is not merely an artificial theoretical device but is actually true, because it is needed for the recursion in the mathematics to work consistently.hypothesis0.743
  Alexander's conditional prediction: if the recursive calculus works, then life-as-attribute-of-space must be a real feature of the universe.
• Reluctance to accept that life is a general phenomenon stems from the mechanistic world-view.claim0.732
  Traces intellectual resistance to a deep-seated worldview.
• Recursion of centersconcept0.729
  The process by which centers are built up, strengthened, and toughened from other centers, deepening their I-like quality.
