- Experimental method where subjects choose which of two items has more life, yielding agreement and a relative measure of life.
- Novel task asking which of two sentences received a stronger injection, using matched-pairs design to control for positional bias
- Pairs of statements with opposite truth values used as input to CCS; e.g., cities and neg_cities paired statements
- The iterative method Alexander uses to make design decisions: compare two versions and ask which is more a picture of one's own eternal self, repeating until convergence.
- Alexander's method of spending 2-3 hours daily for twenty years comparing pairs of artifacts and buildings, asking which has more life, and identifying structural features correlating with greater wholeness
- A practical test to determine if center B helps center A by comparing the life of A with and without B.
