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.
- Hidden genetic variation that is neutral under normal conditions but can be revealed under stress; MCA enables its persistence.
- The color property that areas of a single color vary in hue and tone, avoiding flatness; like roughness, it brings the color to life through internal variety.
- The vast variety of shapes and sizes in morphogenetic living forms, impossible under blueprint planning.
- Subtle variation and detail, as in pots of flowers, that brings life to a place.
- Attribute: attachment with issues of reliance, a text depending on another for meaning.
- Stochastic swapping of cell pairs in the genome to create variation.
- Method to obtain time-dependent conditional densities by maximizing variational free energy.
- The interplay of light and shade that increases felt life, as in the tree-lined road example.
