If the unfolding of wholeness is correctly followed, then every part becomes unique.

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

• If the structure of uniqueness at every part does not occur, it is not an unfolded whole, not living structure at all.claim0.853
  Diagnostic criterion for living structure: absence of thorough uniqueness excludes living character.
• In order to make buildings by unfolding, it is necessary to pay attention to the wholeness in the world. This 'paying attention to the wholeness' is essentially synonymous with love of life.claim0.845
  Connection between process, perception, and love.
• The unfolding of wholeness through structure-preserving transformations must inevitably create the fifteen properties.hypothesis0.836
• Is the principle of unfolding wholeness a new autonomous principle more fundamental than other physical laws, or merely a concise way of gathering together known results?question0.835
  Alexander's self-posed epistemic question about the status of his own principle
• In nature the principle of unfolding wholeness creates living structure nearly all the time. Human designers, who are not constrained by this unfolding, can violate the wholeness if they wish to, and can therefore create non-living structure as often as they choose.quote0.834
  Encapsulates the distinction between natural and human-made order, central to Alexander's critique of contemporary architecture.
• unfolding of wholenessconcept0.834
  The process by which new centers emerge naturally from existing ones without forcing; the essence of morphogenetic sequences.
• The principle of unfolding wholeness is purely geometrical in character, not arithmetical and not energy-based, distinguishing it fundamentally from least action.claim0.830
  Alexander's characterization of what makes his principle novel relative to least-action formulations
• Principle of Unfolding Wholenessframework0.830
  The principle that every natural process is governed by a step-by-step unfolding where each step preserves the structure of the wholeness, introduced in Chapter 1 and elaborated here.
