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 property that a good shape is a center made up of powerful intense centers which themselves have good shape; built up from elementary figures with high internal symmetries, bilateral symmetry, a well-marked center, compactness, and closure
- Illustration that a cube-shaped cloud is instantly recognized as unnatural because it violates the natural symmetry structure of clouds.
- A computational design method based on shape rewriting rules, developed by George Stiny; noted as academic and not yet practically useful for living structure.
- Average S(ℓ) across layers; another geometry summary.
- A transformation that intensifies products of alternating repetition by strengthening loosely formed shapes and giving more life to centers within them.
- Author's assessment that the discovered geometries can carry profound feeling.
- Method of cultivating introspective behavior by mirroring back a model's self-discoveries, creating feedback loops via ICL.
