- The step-by-step method of making in which each act is consistent with and extends the existing wholeness; the core mechanism that generates living structure, described in Book 2.
- The step-by-step process through which coherent geometric order emerges from a whole, preserving structure at each step; the fundamental dynamic of all living processes
- The overarching process framework within which pattern languages operate as a way to steer design toward living structure
- In nature, unfolding often consists of a process that establishes local symmetries one by one.claim0.824Connects biological morphogenesis to architectural process.
- A construction paradigm in which each operation naturally generates the next, producing unique adaptation without complex drawings.
- The process by which new centers emerge naturally from existing ones without forcing; the essence of morphogenetic sequences.
- Alexander's retrospective hypothesis about how the pattern origin problem could have been solved twenty years earlier
- Key principle about images vs. unfolding.
