How can purely physical processes produce new structures that include not only new combinations of physical materials but also new information-based mechanisms for producing and controlling complex behaviours?

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

• Individual mechanical explanations for each property are too specific to provide a general explanation for why living structure repeatedly appears across all domains.claim0.812
  Alexander's argument that case-by-case mechanical explanations fail to address the universal recurrence of living structure
• If it is a living process, it will create beautiful geometric structure. If it does not create beautiful structure, it cannot truly be a living process.claim0.803
  Beauty and geometry are the talisman by which a living process is known.
• The physical structure of the world is generated by its processes.claim0.801
  States that the form of buildings and cities is an outcome of the processes that create them, even when unintended.
• The creation of living structure cannot be done in any other way.claim0.796
• Nature always produces living structure because it follows a process of unfolding wholeness; human designers can create non-living structure by violating this process.claim0.791
  Core distinction between natural and designed configurations, explaining why properties are ubiquitous in nature but rare in bad design.
• The fundamental process will produce a unique thing each time that it is used.claim0.790
  Claim that uniqueness emerges naturally from the unfolding process.
• In buildings, especially, the success of the process will be judged by the extent to which these middle-range entities appear with their own distinct symmetries, with their own definite and distinct force as strong centers.claim0.789
  Proposes middle-range entity quality as the criterion for judging the success of a building process
• When a system of living processes acts in a human environment, two kinds of structures will appear within reach of every person: a unique private world and an attached public world.hypothesis0.788
  Predictive claim about the automatic spatial output of living process
