Implicate Order

David Bohm's framework where reality unfolds from an enfolded wholeness, considered by Bohm to be essentially the same as Alexander's wholeness.

    Alexander's core concept rejecting the idea that a whole consists of parts; instead, a whole makes its parts (called 'centers').

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.

  • Fundamental structure: a set with a reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive relation.
  • Order relations modeling approximation and information content; appears in string prefixes, interval approximations, and partial maps.
  • Self as imputationconcept0.702
    Buddhist idea that a person is a conceptual designation rather than a substantial entity.
  • Middle-Range Orderframework0.695
    Coherent entities at the scale of rooms and bays — roughly halfway between building volume and smallest elements — whose existence and beautiful pattern of arrangement is essential for profound building order; first noted by Ingrid King
  • A-periodic orderconcept0.695
    The complex, non-repeating order of a living neighborhood, analogous to Schrödinger's description of DNA.
  • Diagrammatic encoding of program behavior via concept lattices reveals reachability structure and non-determinism without fixed calculational rules.
  • Low entropy, organized state; life maintains order by consuming negative entropy.
  • Family of all subsets of a set X, ordered by set inclusion; serves as a canonical example of a complete lattice.
