Here are Christopher Alexander's 15 Properties of living structure. In future posts I may explore how they may possibly apply to software. All I could find on google was someone else's attempt at this here.
1. LEVELS OF SCALE
2. STRONG CENTERS
3. BOUNDARIES
4. ALTERNATING REPETITION
5. POSITIVE SPACE
6. GOOD SHAPE
7. LOCAL SYMMETRIES
8. DEEP INTERLOCK AND AMBIGUITY
9. CONTRAST
10. GRADIENTS
II. ROUGHNESS,
12. ECHOES
13. THE VOID
14. SIMPLICITY AND INNER CALM,
15. NON-SEPARATENESS.

Is it possible to trap a vacuum in a void?
Congratulations on having such an intellectual blog. Most people aren't smart like you.
this blog is stale now.
New 'Ed&Ted's coming soon

This seems to be a very self-serving blog. a blog for blog sakes. can't you just remember these things on you own? I'm not coming here anymore. you won't find your 'things i'm reading about blog' mentioned anywhere on my 'things people are reading about' blog anymore!
very interesting reading, as stale as it is
