Hi Alexander,
My lego calculus does not describe limits of lego bricks.
Describing limits of lego bricks is the purpose of the LCD project
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/specs/lcd/
which specifications will be usefull to LCAD users.
Again, my building system is not specifying but constructive.
It provides guidelines to builder in order to select combinatives that favor
emergence of volume and cohesion.
Also the system is not restrictive in any sense: you can perfectly include
some of the patterns in wild building or add some wild building to a well
patterned model.
No math is needed to apply the patterns. A pattern is just an extension of
the building progress flow.
Thanks for criticism,
Damien
