Blue-asymmetric spectral lines appear in 50-60% of dense cores within massive dark clumps, showing that gravitational collapse operates at core scales from prestellar stages onward and supports hierarchical star formation.

Polarization observations reveal scale-dependent differences in magnetic field morphology between molecular clouds and clumps, a velocity-dispersion correlation, and unreliable field-strength estimates that contradict flux conservation.
Oblique filament collisions lead to gravitational collapse of the compressed cloud when post-collision |gravitational energy| exceeds kinetic plus thermal plus magnetic energies, with lower angles and lower velocities favoring hub-filament formation.
Simulations of the Aquila Rift show uneven clumps accreting gas and merging along filaments to form a fractal cluster whose velocity anisotropies, rotation, and expansion record the assembly history even after gas removal.
