Space Coming to Lifeconcept0.878
The notion that space itself can become alive as a center emerges; a premise of the theory that is puzzling from a physics standpoint.
What is it? What is this thing which happens as space comes to life? What is the life of a center, which then multiplies and blossoms to form the life of buildings, ornaments ... and perhaps even the life of living things?question0.860
The fundamental unanswered question about the nature of life in space that the chapter addresses.
Life occurs in space not as an attribute of living organisms but as an attribute of space itselfclaim0.840
Radical ontological claim that life is a property of spatial configuration itself, not limited to biological organisms; the degree of life depends on the coherence of centers
The life which appears is an attribute of space itself.claim0.824
The final distillation of the chapter's argument, making life a fundamental property of matter/space.
What we call 'life' is a general condition which exists, to some degree or other, in every part of space... every connected region of space... has some degree of life, and that this degree of life is well defined, objectively existing, and measurable.hypothesis0.792
The central predictive/causal hypothesis of the book, to be tested in later chapters.
Life is exactly that property of space in which each spot becomes unique according to its place in the larger scheme of things.claim0.787
Definitional claim equating life with spatial uniqueness.
Life as a Quality of Spaceconcept0.786
The idea that life is not merely an attribute of living organisms but an attribute of space itself; any spatial system can have more or less life depending on the life of its component centers and their density
Space becomes more deeply functional and well-organized as it begins to resemble more deeply the human person; life in a center means the space begins to resemble the human selfclaim0.782
Extraordinary structural claim: functional organization converges on resemblance to the human self
