- Can we define precisely what it means to take steps which intensify latent structure in a configuration so that harmony-seeking computation can be performed systematically?(question)
- Close-knit adaptation of system elements arising over time is central observable in nature and human-formed ecological systems but eludes simple algorithmic formulation.(claim)
- Latent Structures(concept)

- Embryogenesis of a mouse foot demonstrates harmony-seeking through emergence of strong centers, boundaries, gradients, levels of scale, contrast, local symmetries, and good shape across four developmental days.(finding)
- Five-story apartment building in Tokyo complements site wholeness through 50 structure-preserving steps that accentuate Y-configuration, positive space, levels of scale, and sunny southern orientation.(finding)
- Harmony-seeking computation is value-oriented rather than value-free, judging configurations by their contribution to larger wholes.(claim)
- The city of Amsterdam evolved from U-shaped wall to horseshoe configuration of concentric canals, intensifying latent structure through boundaries, positive space, local symmetries, good shape, deep interlock, and alternating repetition.(finding)
- Two hayricks placed on rolling Romanian field enhance natural wholeness through echoes of shape, local symmetries, and emphasis of naturally occurring strong centers.(finding)
