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.
- Brian Goodwin's work demonstrating that morphogenesis follows structure-preserving principles independent of genetic guidance, validated by Alexander's wholeness-based prediction.
- Computational modeling of the sequence of changes needed to form the characteristic whorl at the tip of Acetabularia algae, demonstrating emergent order from nonlinear interactions
- Process by which cellular collectives generate large-scale structure and form; presented as a collective intelligence problem.
- Botanical finding demonstrating the concept of latent center: apparently discontinuous new structure is already implicit in the prior wholeness
- Developmental systems reach invariant target morphology from diverse starting conditions, like a thermostat.
- The sequence of unfolding and adaptation that generates living form, whether biological or architectural.
