Positive outdoor-space process

Sequence for generating coherent, shaped outdoor space around a house, giving it living structure.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

Positive Space
subtype_of
The property that every bit of space swells outward, is substantial in itself, and is never the leftover from an adjacent shape; every single part of space has positive shape as a center with no amorphous meaningless leftovers

Chapter 20: The Spread Of Living Processes
introduces
This chapter argues that living processes must spread via small, independent morphogenetic sequences (snippable genes), using piecemeal evolution, a gene pool, and a network of interlinked sequences.

method

House layout process
uses
A generative sequence enabling families to lay out an organic, unique, and beautiful house suited to site and people.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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