Four Propositions for Coherence of the Theory

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

• Coherenceconcept0.786
  A property that makes a segment of space stand out as a center; determined by symmetry, connectedness, convexity, etc.
• Coherence Criterion for Theory Evaluationconcept0.782
  Alexander's argument that alongside empirical predictive force, the coherence of a theory's parts is a primary scientific criterion for truth.
• strategic coherenceconcept0.742
  The ability to integrate spending efficiency, resource discipline, and adaptive phase play under competitive pressure.
• Configuration coherence can be measured by counting locally symmetric sub-configurations; this measure shows strong agreement with cognition and perception experiments.finding0.741
  Quantifiable measure linking structural properties of configurations to human perception, supporting the mathematical reality of wholeness.
• Four Criteria for Judging Conceptsframework0.740
  Framework consisting of Motivation, No Redundancy, No Overloading, and Uniformity criteria to evaluate concept design quality
• The fifteen properties are the ways centers sustain each other's coherence, thereby contributing to the stability and robustness of natural systems.claim0.740
  Proposed as the reason the properties appear in functionally stable or semistable systems.
• Coherence Maximizationconcept0.738
  The functional role consciousness plays: minimizing constraint violations between simultaneously active partial models of reality
• Perceived coherence of patterns is an objective measure, not idiosyncratic or subjective—people agree on relative coherence regardless of experimental taskfinding0.729
  Finding that relative coherence rankings remain constant across different people and across different cognitive processing tasks (description, memorization, tachistoscopic recognition), establishing coherence as an objective feature of cognitive processing
