In early trials, right and left cue locations are more attractive than the central location despite being inherently ambiguous, because the agent knows it is ignorant and can resolve this through novelty exposure.

Demonstration that ignorance-driven novelty-seeking (not ambiguity avoidance) governs early exploration

Curiosity manifests as active sampling of the world to minimize uncertainty about hypotheses for states of the world, driven by novelty-seeking policies that resolve ignorance about contingencies.

The appearance of this invisible and useful center at the core of every room is the most subtle invariant.claim0.775
Underlines the difficulty and importance of the focal center.
The precise placement of windows can only be judged well in the real world, because subtle interactions with the wholeness cannot be captured in drawings.claim0.752
Example that vital fine-tuning depends on in-situ perception of the actual emerging structure.
Often the conceptual picture a person has of a place is an invented convention at odds with the wholeness that exists, and it is even difficult for modern people to see the wholeness.claim0.752
Epistemological/phenomenological claim about perception.
Centers are above all, labile, they are foci of wholeness, they are not things, but regions, qualities, focal points of centeredness.quote0.751
Key definition capturing the non-atomic, relational nature of centers as fields rather than objects.
Once a room is in position with size and location fixed, it is too late to give it real feeling or true meaning.claim0.749
Emphasizes the primacy of position.
As observers mature, their liking converges because they discover the deeper self that is shared.claim0.748
Developmental claim about aesthetic maturity.
The space in the angle between the wall surface and the overhanging top is itself a center, and must be made as positive and being-like as possible.claim0.747
Alexander's demonstration that even the negative space beside an overhang requires conscious I-directed attention.
The key center that gives or does not give life to a plain rectangle is a still spot which paths pass but do not go through, oriented towards light and a natural focus.claim0.747
Solution to the most difficult room design problem.
