The evaluative method: asking whether a list of centers forms a coherent whole, answers project needs, and predicts likelihood of generating life
Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Primary entities of wholeness that arise from configurations and are activated in space; they have different levels of strength or coherence and are intensified by relationships with other centers.
- Question posed after describing the plenum, answered by the window metaphor.
- The fundamental question about the nature of centers, addressed through recursive definition.
- The overall configuration of interrelated centers that constitutes a whole.
- Evaluation setting where the same task stream that drives evolution also serves as the evaluation set, with each task scored under the harness at time of attempt
- Data structure allowing Elephant programs to refer directly to past events without explicit data structures; enables natural language-like reference to past.
- The explicit recursive definition that underpins living structure.
- A specific signal (Wood Labs) embedded in evaluation environments that the model organism uses to reliably identify testing contexts.
