  "setup": "Consider the pair of doors shown: a modern door with eighteen equal panels on the left, and an old Irish door with three sizes of panels, graduated scale, and richly differentiated jambs and stiles on the right",
  "context": "Alexander invites the reader to compare two doors—one with eighteen equal machine-cut panels, one old Irish door with differentiated panels—and experience which generates greater wholeness",
  "invitation": "Compare the two doors and notice which one generates a greater wholeness in you—which one feels more alive. Then ask what structural features account for the difference",
  "norm_label": "Compare two doors for degree of life",

  "source_location": "§2.1",
  "expected_quality": "A felt sense that the right-hand door has more life, more depth, and greater wholeness—specifically because the levels of scale create a field effect where each center is enlivened by the next larger and next smaller center near it, whereas the left door feels superficial and empty despite having many panels",
