- The dynamic where the designer reacts to the current state of the unfolding wholeness to determine the next step.
- The mechanism by which each step's effect is evaluated against the life of the whole, guiding the unfolding.
- Continuous checking of each step against the wholeness, allowing adaptation and course correction.
- Key dimension analyzing how wide the gulfs of execution and evaluation are in a system and how they relate; uses concepts from The Design of Everyday Things.
- A key ingredient of liveness where the evaluation gulf is minimized so effects of user changes are immediately visible with automatic demand of result.
- Prior framework for synergizing reasoning and acting in LLM agents, foundational to agent harness concept
- The adaptive, incremental nature of living process, allowing small steps with continuous evaluation and adjustment.
- Represented by boxes in process theory; transformations that take systems as inputs/outputs
