  • A custom computer tool used to draw lines on a photograph iteratively, testing structure-preserving transformations.
  • The idea that living structure emerges only through a sequence of small, structure-preserving moves, not by a single grand blueprint.
  • The incremental unfolding characteristic of morphogenesis, where each step arises from the previous state.
  • Step-by-step method where each decision preserves the existing structure and deepens harmony.
  • A construction paradigm in which each operation naturally generates the next, producing unique adaptation without complex drawings.
  • smooth unfoldingconcept0.801
    The process by which wholeness is continuously extended through structure-preserving steps without breaking the existing structure.
  • The property of smooth-unfolding processes where each operation is sufficiently defined by the context of previous operations, eliminating need for complex pre-specifications.
  • The characteristic that successive states in any natural developmental sequence are so alike as to be hardly distinguishable, even when overall change is enormous
