This reminds me of music theory: while it's all true and makes sense if you study it long enough, does John Williams really think "I should change keys 12 bars into the second phrase using a regressive cadence ending in a napoleonic 6th chord? an augmented 5th away from the original key?" I could see this as a way of defining a standardized "language" to describe model construction if no pictures were available, but other than that... When I build, I follow the extremely simple (albeit, harder to do than to say) "draw a picture in my head (or on paper, if I can manage to get past my complete lack of drawing skills), build that picture" model. I mean no offense, I really am just asking you what made you think of this and what is its purpose? Now that I think about it, it might be handy to sort my pieces into your constructors categories. Currently, I have a "Lego Bin" and a "Larger Pieces Lego Bin." It would be nice to have decorative elements in another place, regardless of size, so that they wouldn't get in my way when I'm plowing through the bin looking for a plain old 1x2 brick to allow me to finish the structural design. Except so many pieces could qualify for several categories. Either way, you've given me much to think about. ;) -- Tom

(...) Hi Tom, Of course my concept describes the shape so there is some parallel with music theory and other grammars. It is a construction of its own. So one motivation is just the beauty of it. A second motivation is that photos and building (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)
