I agree with some others' opinions that this does not necessarily benefit
the lay reader to a great degree.  However, I think that as people do more
and more with Legos and create things that border on the abstract, this will
be a great framework within which to think.

Definitely a great foundation started by Damien - it is tools like this that
allow hobbies to evolve into something bigger.

i.e. If an expert builder were to formally train novices, a language like this
would be crucial.
Or, it could allow all kinds of ways to quantify our models: perhaps the ratio
of ornamental to constructive constructors would be the greeblie factor, the
number of constructive constructors would be the complexity...  Neat-o!

Hi Jeff,

I also think the LEGO group should include "building guidelines" in his
products. Or at least more idea books. Childs can not infer a building
practice by themselves. They are quickly discouraged by trials and failures.
I am very interested if someone can rework the presentation for children.
I strongly disagree with the usage as a model metrics: the concept is for
creation time only. Do not expect constructors to be deconstructive tools.
Their name just forbid that. They are for design, not analysis. There is no
right or wrong way to build lego. I reject any evaluation tool and consider
the idea as discriminative. The right way to prefect your models is not to
use metrics but to better think your building problems.

Thanks for criticism,

Damien
