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

• The entities which appear in a configuration are not merely cognitive; they have a real mathematical existence.claim0.795
  Rejects a purely psychological interpretation of centers in favor of an objective existence.
• All naturally occurring configurations lie in the set L of living structure; human-made configurations may lie outside L because humans can create unnatural forms.hypothesis0.772
• Modern people, especially those educated in verbal concepts, often are not holistic perceivers; they perceive according to invented categories that blind them to wholeness.claim0.772
  Critique of modern cognition.
• Perception is a form of action; perception and action cannot be pulled apartclaim0.768
  Enactive consequence: active sampling of world means perception inherently involves action
• Echoes of similar proportions and angles appear throughout any natural system due to uniform underlying processes, giving a consistent character to different parts.claim0.767
• "[W]e must confess that perception, and what depends upon it, is inexplicable in terms of mechanical reasons... when inspecting its interior, we will find only parts that push one another, and we will never find anything to explain a perception."quote0.766
  Canonical illustration of the Hard Problem intuition that any functional/mechanical explanation faces an explanatory gap for perception
• Human cognition evolved to detect agency in medium-sized objects at medium speeds in 3D space, limiting recognition of intelligence in unfamiliar substrates.claim0.765
• Our everyday liking (subjective preference) often diverges from deep liking, but deep liking converges to agreement and corresponds to living structure.claim0.763
  Distinction between superficial and deep preference.
