I suspect that much of the "heat" on this forum indirectly comes from the lack of such a diagram. Also, I suspect that some important discoveries would be made in the translation from text to diagram. I suspect that I/you/we will have to adopt some new diagrammatic conventions, especially in the many ways that boxes might be "connected" together, perhaps as a "legend" in the corner, like maps commonly have.

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
