claim

Properties in each cluster appear to be similar or interrelated
supports
Interpretive claim that the statistically derived clusters reflect conceptual similarity or interdependence among the properties.

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.

GOOD SHAPE appears in multiple clusters in both 4 and 5 cluster groupingsfinding0.815
Observation that property 'Good Shape' is not exclusive to one cluster, appearing in clusters 1 and 2 (4-cluster) or 2 and 3 (5-cluster).
Correspondence analysis reveals four clusters of related properties: Cluster 1 (Contrast, Not-Separateness, Roughness, Alternating Repetition, Good Shape), Cluster 2 (Local Symmetries, The Void, Levels of Scale, Good Shape, Positive Space), Cluster 3 (Boundaries, Strong Centers, Deep Interlock and Ambiguity), Cluster 4 (Simplicity and Inner Calm, Echoes, Gradients, Positive Space).finding0.803
Statistical grouping of properties based on dependency patterns, enabling deeper understanding of their coherence and interaction.
POSITIVE SPACE appears in multiple clusters in both 4 and 5 cluster groupingsfinding0.750
Observation that property 'Positive Space' appears in clusters 2 and 4 (4-cluster) and 3 and other (5-cluster).
