• The mirror-of-the-self test produces judgments of relative life that are consistent across people and correspond to objective living structure.claim0.823
  Central methodological claim of the chapter, supported by multiple experiments.
• Performing the mirror-of-the-self test gradually brings the observer closer to contact with the original mind.claim0.804
  The reciprocal effect: doing the test deepens self-knowledge and judgment.
• The mirror-of-the-self test helps observers escape subjective preference and learn to see the objective life in things.claim0.800
  Describes the transformative potential of the test.
• Mirror-of-the-self experimentmethod0.799
  Experimental protocol developed by Alexander in the 1970s: subjects compare two configurations and choose which is more like their eternal self, yielding consistent cross-cultural agreement.
• As observers mature, their liking converges because they discover the deeper self that is shared.claim0.789
  Developmental claim about aesthetic maturity.
• Mirror and Deathbed tests measure orthogonal facets of quality; what feels most alive differs from what merits preservation.claim0.787
• What does the mirror-of-the-self experiment mean?question0.786
  The question Alexander poses about the ontological implications of the experiment.
• The mirror-of-the-self test is not mechanical; its accuracy depends on the observer's level of personal development.claim0.778
  Important caveat about the reliability of the method.
