RE: Symbols, Signs and Signals + HM.Requirements: dynamic additi ons

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

That's a good short analysis.  Consider that one 
of the processes that occurs in meeting is to negotiate 
the schema for subsequent transactions.   This 
ability to dynamically build a useful schema from 
parts based on recognized patterns is fundamental. 

That is one reason to have a means to include different 
code sets and reason by analogy.  That schema is 
an emergent control and you could consider it an 
effect of what Prueitt refers to as ontological 
entanglement.   One can use different strategies; 
for example, come to a common understanding by 
analogy, or engage a mediator.  The mediator might 
then use a process that relies on analogical reasoning 
or other tactical processes.

If you want to look at earlier applications of 
process modeling, you could do a search on IDEF0 
and IDEF3.  The KBSI company provide some great 
tools and sites for this.  At one time, they also 
provided an SGML process definition (DTD).  IDEF 
inherits from the earlier SADT model.

At first, I didn't quite able to understand the process model too well, but
I had the opportunity to correspond with Rex.  My understanding (with simple
examples) is how to get...


from  :-)   to   :-|   to   :-(


OR


Happiness --> to smile


OR


BloodLust---> to Violence
-------------------

My understanding is that different types of dynamic characteristics (i.e.
processes) should be incorporated into the design...thus, here is my input
for the HM.Requirements Document:
---------------------------------------------------------------
The HumanML may be dynamic, in several senses:
   -represent different perspectives, additional perspectives (tying in with
different perceptions, different authorities)
   -represent changes due to more refined definitions (greater and greater
amounts of cultural data...)
   -represent changes due to prolonged interaction  (happiness turning to
boredom the longer the seminar goes on--as seen in the example above)
   -represent changes due to changing personality, opinion, views, new
learnings (new insights, ideas, understandings create different
interpretations)
