- The process of getting the ornament from the space works by structure-preserving transformationssupportsThe design of the floor, color, and geometry all arose as a result of structure-enhancing transformations in the place.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- After sliding paper swatches, the exact proportions that made the balance just right were discovered; any deviation destroyed the inner light.
- Alternation of squares and rectangles was superior to simple checkerboard for Martinez floorfinding0.782In pattern trials, alternating square and rectangular elements felt more harmonious than a plain checkerboard.
- During lattice-strip testing, grid patterns parallel to walls jarred, while diagonal patterns harmonized with that specific room.
- Comparing 19'1", 19'3", and 19'5" room lengths, the longest gave the strongest feeling; chosen after direct observation.
- After fine adjustment with sticks and full-size mockups, the exact repeating square dimension was fixed at 17 inches.
- Optimal main street width determined to be 18 meters in Oakland simulation for Frankfurt projectfinding0.721Through real-place simulation in Oakland, California, for the Frankfurt Parkstadt project, a width of 18 meters felt right (20m too wide, 16m too narrow) for an east-west main street with 3-4 story buildings.
- Calculated overall floor-area ratio for the humane density threshold.
- Minor street optimal width 9 meters, widening to 11 meters at the mouth (Oakland simulation)finding0.691The minor street intersecting the main 18m street should be no more than 9m wide, with a slight widening to about 11m at the mouth to form a good T-junction.
