The property that living structures contain centers that are not merely blobs but strong, field-like centers that organize the space around them; every strong center is made of many other strong centers recursively
Structure-Preserving Transformations
uses
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.

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

Center-enhancing transformationsconcept0.840
Transformations that repair damaged centers and create new living centers, following the fundamental process.
Spatial Transformationconcept0.756
Every strong center is made of many other strong centers—a multiplicity of centers at different levels which engages us; the concept is recursive, not referring to one grand centerclaim0.754
Recursive definition of strong centers: they are composed of and supported by other strong centers at multiple scales
Centersconcept0.747
Primary entities of wholeness that arise from configurations and are activated in space; they have different levels of strength or coherence and are intensified by relationships with other centers.
Strong centers occur throughout the physical world, from splashing drops to galaxies, with many processes radiating from central nodes.claim0.740
Contrast Transformationconcept0.740
A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
field of centersconcept0.737
The overall configuration of interrelated centers that constitutes a whole.
Intensity of Centersconcept0.733
The degree of life of individual centers, which can be increased or decreased by other centers.
