Small, well-designed core (storage, file, display, text, viewers, loader, drivers) enables powerful extensibility.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Good interface design reveals the underlying computational architecture to the user.claim0.794
  Core interpretive claim about the relationship between transparency and usability.
• A fast implementation of this primitive, possibly in hardware, could be the basis of efficient and compact implementations of a diverse range of programming language semantics and data structures.claim0.776
  Claim that hardware-supported associative lookup would enable high-performance dynamic language runtimes.
• There is something ineffable, a mystical core in things, that is deeply related to our own individual self, and this — not something else — is the true core both of matter and of architecture.claim0.767
  The final, most radical claim of the chapter: the I is not a metaphor but the actual foundation of material reality.
• "There is something ineffable, a mystical core in things, that is deeply related to our own individual self, and that THIS — not something else — is the true core both of matter and of architecture."quote0.765
  Closing statement of the Mid-Book Appendix identifying the I as the foundation of both matter and architecture.
• The core of architecture is that whatever is made is always the simplest thing consistent with its necessities of feeling and continuous attention to feeling while it evolves into form.claim0.757
  Opening declaration of the chapter, synthesizing the essence of living architecture.
• The core of a living process—whether a building is large or small—is that it comes from people, from their inner desires—and genuinely does so; that it meets their archetypal core, and thereby makes them feel at homequote0.747
  Concise statement of the people-centered foundation of living process.
• Space is a material whose most important feature is its capacity to form centers.claim0.746
  Reiteration of a key premise from Book 1 within the new metaphysical framework.
• Extensibility (Data and Procedural)concept0.740
  Core design principle allowing new modules and data types to be added without modifying core; enabled by Oberon's type extension feature.
