    A combinatory system of concrete rules that guides the implementation of adapted structure, oriented by the living process.
  • A transformation that intensifies products of alternating repetition by strengthening loosely formed shapes and giving more life to centers within them.
  • A linguistic framework where sentences are generated by successive transformations; analogous to differentiation in architecture.

    The property that a good shape is a center made up of powerful intense centers which themselves have good shape; built up from elementary figures with high internal symmetries, bilateral symmetry, a well-marked center, compactness, and closure
  • Hypothesis that in language tasks, the abstract structure encoded in positional encodings corresponds to grammatical structure.
