  • smooth controlconcept0.818
    Coherent, predictable changes in model behavior achieved by navigating along the learned manifold rather than using straight-line interventions.
  • A transformation that introduces intentional irregularity so that repeating centers fit without forcing overall regularity, essential for wholeness.
  • smooth unfoldingconcept0.811
    The process by which wholeness is continuously extended through structure-preserving steps without breaking the existing structure.
  • A transformation that removes unwanted centers and unnecessary complexity throughout the structure, leaving only essential centers.
  • A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
  • A transformation that develops a thick boundary zone around a zone to intensify its coherence.
