If we follow the unfolding process faithfully, we shall nearly always get this characteristic appearance (syncopated balance of symmetries and asymmetries).

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

• In nature, unfolding often consists of a process that establishes local symmetries one by one.claim0.843
  Connects biological morphogenesis to architectural process.
• If the unfolding of wholeness is correctly followed, then every part becomes unique.hypothesis0.821
  Prediction that adherence to the proper process guarantees uniqueness.
• We hypothesize that a similar 'brutal' and purely geometric process always occurs somewhere in other kinds of unfolding that generate living order — in poetry, dance, social structure, planning, and family relationships.hypothesis0.805
  Extends the brutal geometry thesis beyond architecture into all creative and social domains; acknowledged as not yet confirmed with certainty
• The process of unfolding and the fundamental process follow from this pleasing of oneself, as night follows day.claim0.805
  Alexander claims Book 2's unfolding process is a consequence of people learning to please themselves.
• Under a living process, as unfolding proceeds, the relative areas of these four components need to remain almost equal.claim0.801
  Invariant that living process maintains percentage balance.
• The unfolding process allows—sustains—minute adaptation in every detail.claim0.798
  The practical benefit of unfolding.
• If the evolution of the natural world follows a step-by-step process in which each step is structure-preserving, then the fifteen properties will appear more and more often, and the degree of life in the wholeness will increase steadily.hypothesis0.795
  Conditional statement linking smooth unfolding to the progressive emergence of the fifteen properties and increased life.
• All living processes use unfolding to create geometric order.claim0.793
  Universal claim extending the unfolding-and-geometry principle beyond buildings to all living systems
