Chapter 5: Fifteen Fundamental Properties
cites
The chapter that catalogs and analyzes the fifteen recurrent geometric properties found in systems that have life, connecting them to the deeper theory of centers and 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.

Arcades (APL pattern)concept0.774
APL pattern on arcades as boundary layers between inside and outside, referenced as an example of boundaries and deep interlock and ambiguity
Intimacy Gradient (APL pattern)concept0.774
APL pattern describing how rooms should be arranged in a graded sequence from public to private, creating field-like quality through the gradient as a whole
Something Roughly in the Middle (APL pattern)concept0.746
APL pattern requiring a focus approximately in the middle of a square, demonstrating roughness by allowing the position to meet other important criteria rather than being perfectly centered
Light on Two Sides of Every Room (APL pattern)concept0.745
APL pattern referenced as an example of deep interlock between indoor and outdoor space, requiring structural relation between inside centers, wall centers, and outside centers
Positive Outdoor Space (APL pattern)concept0.743
APL pattern giving detailed functional arguments for positive space effects in outdoor environments
The Fire (APL pattern)concept0.733
APL pattern requiring a fireplace or equivalent as nucleus of a main living room, referenced as an example of strong centers and contrast
Connected Buildings (APL pattern)concept0.732
APL pattern requiring buildings to touch each other, referenced as an example of not-separateness in construction
Sacred Sites (APL pattern)concept0.732
APL pattern showing a mountain or lake as a great void at the essence of a sacred site
