Chris Alexander would agree https://t.co/Snl3uNaEw3
Alexander says different parts of space can have different "degrees of life". I agree. I describe it as: a field of awareness can implement a phenomenal space with an inhomogeneous energy parameter. Wanna see phenomenal space fully alive? Vaporize 20mg of DMT. Works every time. https://t.co/lWq9IiMEGn

“When you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must also repair the world around it… so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and …takes its place in the web of nature.” — Christopher Alexander (A Pattern Language, 1977)
Example: space design I’ve connected it with architecture + design since studying Christopher Alexander’s embodied process I haven’t quite nailed these down, but the operative forces may be - differentiation of elements - coherence amongst elements - movement through the space
So much yes here, it’s legitimately worth shouting over and over!!! https://t.co/hJvnhqDf1L
Chris’ poetry on Nibras’ lips https://t.co/W6QiwyxPmF
@relic_radiation @DrMylesDC The architectural and design process of Christopher Alexander is rooted in cultivating sensitivity to precise feeling in the body and using this as a means of tuning to the sensory experience of the arrangement of matter
