The chapter argues that all living processes must proceed step by step with feedback, and that modern architecture fails because it lacks this core.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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