The living structure emerges, slowly, step by step, and as the process goes forward step by step there is continuous feedback which allows the process to guide the system towards greater wholeness, and coherence, and adaptation.

• Every living process must necessarily be an adaptive, step-by-step process that creates unity by adapting the structure into harmony with what exists.claim0.874
• The core of all living process is step-by-step adaptation — the modification and evolution which happen gradually in response to information about the degree to which the emerging structure supports the whole.claim0.871
  Definition of the essential mechanism of living structure formation.
• The living process must give rise to coherent entities at a middle range of scale.claim0.858
  Asserts middle-range entity emergence as a necessary output of any living process
• If the evolution of the natural world follows a step-by-step process in which each step is structure-preserving, then the fifteen properties will appear more and more often, and the degree of life in the wholeness will increase steadily.hypothesis0.852
  Conditional statement linking smooth unfolding to the progressive emergence of the fifteen properties and increased life.
• The step-by-step evolution of living centers, in a progressive differentiating process, is a biological necessity — an essential part of the adaptation of a complex system.claim0.849
  Claims that unfolding is not a stylistic choice but a biological requirement for adaptive buildings.
• Living structure and the process of creating it has a positive effect on the process of creation, similar to the Mozart effect.claim0.844
• The structure we know as living structure is just that kind of structure which has unfolded smoothly and naturally, arising step by step from what exists, preserving the structure of what exists.claim0.844
  Defines living structure as the product of a truthful unfolding process that respects and preserves existing wholeness.
• The steps of a living process always take place in a vitally important sequence, and coherence depends largely on the accuracy of this unfolding sequence.claim0.840
  Highlights that order of center formation is not arbitrary; the sequence from larger to smaller wholes is critical.
