Schemata Theory

Holland's mathematical account showing schemata must appear in any successful adaptive system, used to ground the necessity of patterns

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

Pattern-Gene Analogy
supports
The analogy between cultural patterns and biological genes: both are memorized solutions to recurring problems that enable adaptive reuse

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.
