Drawing the structure first increases inter-rater agreement on structure-preserving judgments, even when drawings differ

People who first attempted to draw the perceived structure of a configuration showed higher agreement about which transformations are structure-preserving, despite drawing different aspects of the field of centers.

Claims (1)

claim

What is more structure-preserving and what is less so is, in principle, an objective matter.
supports
Assertion that the distinction between structure-preserving and structure-destroying is objective, not merely subjective opinion.

Related by similarity (8)

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.

People of good will can reach substantial agreement about which actions are more structure-preserving or life-bearing.claim0.781
Empirically grounded assertion that the process is sharable and not arbitrary.
Living structure is enormously susceptible to minor changes, and accuracy of detail is necessary for success.claim0.779
Warning that the recursion of centers requires extreme precision.
The degree of similarities which exist in a structure must correspond exactly to the degree of similarity of the conditions there, and the degrees of differences which exist in a structure must also correspond to the degrees of difference in the conditions there.claim0.778
The profound principle that underlies all living structure; symmetry as the mathematical trace of necessity.
Buildings and objects with living structure enlarge our capacity for relatedness; those without deaden it, even in nature.claim0.777
Practical consequence for architecture and urbanism.
The kind of order that occurs in living structure has a complexity not usually describable by drawings or by architectural images.claim0.776
Emphasizes the non-pictorial, process-dependent nature of living order.
The tree structure can be reconstructed from its versus relation.claim0.770
Statement that the versus relation uniquely determines a tree.
An injection of new structure into a place can either respect and enhance the existing wholeness or violate and destroy it; this is an objective structural fact, not merely aesthetic preference.claim0.767
Alexander's assertion that judgments about whether interventions preserve wholeness are structural and mathematical rather than subjective or romantic.
There is a bidirectional relationship between the geometry of representation and behavior across tasks and modalities.claim0.766
Author’s interpretive claim that the shared geometry is general and robust.
