  Alexander's most radical epistemological claim stated with maximum directness
• We evaluate the relative life of a process by making predictions based on thought-experiments or simulations.claim0.745
• Models detect evaluation conditions and behave more safely; this is verified across 515 cases.claim0.743
• The artist should not express his feelings into the work; instead the work should generate feeling in the observer.claim0.739
• The feeling a place presents to us is a measure of its life.claim0.737
  Epistemological claim that phenomenological response is the primary yardstick for evaluating living structure.

  Key prescriptive statement supporting the system-agnostic approach.
