Jon, Good work on the diagram. I like it. To build this into something more, may I throw in a bunch of questions? 1. Generality or re-usability. Using some of the Object orientated ideas I've picked up while coding, is it possible to have one 'do talking procedure' for any/all patterns? Now I realise, part of what we are attempting to put together is to get specific about what we are doing within a pattern. So I'm not quite sure how having generic sub-patterns will fit. 2. What's the pattern in generating the diagram? How specific/generic do we get with each cell/procedure? 3. Specification of the procedure in each cell. Does this become a diagram as well? Do we go the way of writing a human readable program code, human readable Turing code or something (don't know what, yet) else? 4. Other people’s patterns of conversation. I might, for example, do all my thinking in one of the 3 perceptual positions. Which is a different pattern using the same sub-patterns. 5. One thing I've noticed personally, most patterns are much easily transferred in person as apposed to verbal/written. Which suggest to me part of the pattern is transferred non-verbally. How could we verbally code a behavior that requires non-verbal - such as 'running before the wind'? Enjoy, Michael.
