Structure-Preserving Transformations
associated_with
Chapter 2 of Volume 2 of The Nature of Order, introducing structure-preserving transformations as the mechanism by which living structure arises naturally through unfolding wholeness.

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.

Smooth Transformationconcept0.787
Another term for a structure-preserving transformation, one which preserves structure and wholeness without abrupt disruption.
Spatial Transformationconcept0.785
Linear Transformations (a :( b)concept0.751
Simplicity Transformationconcept0.743
A transformation that removes unwanted centers and unnecessary complexity throughout the structure, leaving only essential centers.
Incremental Transformationconcept0.743
The principle that complex living structures can only be built by taking small sequential steps, each responding to the results of all previous steps.
Levels-of-Scale Transformationconcept0.740
A transformation that introduces intermediate-sized centers to fill out the hierarchy of scales, strengthening larger centers.
Contrast Transformationconcept0.735
A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
Good-Shape Transformationconcept0.732
A transformation that intensifies products of alternating repetition by strengthening loosely formed shapes and giving more life to centers within them.
