- The rhythmic, varied spacing of structural elements — unequal yet coherent — that gives a building its subtle harmony and profound feeling through strength of definiteness
- A structural order type where column grids are aperiodic but coherent, allowing floor plan variation without sacrificing structural continuity.

- Blocking remote procedure call; Linda can implement it but it is less natural.
- Model tendency to excessively praise or agree; captured by several SAE features.
- Default update strategy where all cells update simultaneously; contrasted with asynchronous updates
