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.

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

@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
