Philip:

That was an explosive message, probing a new
path toward understanding the nature of
information.  I would like to follow this
path.

After all, what is the stuff we are
Architecting?

There is a flow characteristic that is
not only found in water, but is basically built
into the universe ... and it carries SOMETHING.

Cooperative effort cannot be achieved
without information moving.

Location is an important concept in
information; another on is the node,
a special kind of location that sends
and receives this stuff we call information.
I hope you guys understand what I am saying:


We are now faced with the problem of
smooth interaction between two special
nodes the "user" and the web screen.

I contend, by the way, that style is
important, and the most desirable property
for such a channel would be "friendship."

Consideration of a rule in a rulebook as
an item of information, that is also
interesting..

Ah, but I wander aimlessly in exitement.
