Ben, Once when I was performing a patent search, I discovered a patent where the first drawing was a map of how to cut and paste the next 40 pages of drawings all together to make one gigantic drawing!!! I suspect that they started with a wall covered in butcher paper and grid marked it at the maximum size for patent drawings. They apparently drew their gigantic drawing, then added off-page labels to the lines leading to adjacent pages, before cutting it up into page-sized pieces.
You might look at the movie *Contact* for a related approach. Another BIG problem is the non-white background. I can NOT afford to print out my own copy, because it would empty my ink cartridge. Also, you might consider some way of differentiating structure from example data, to make it clearer what part is the structure and what part is example. Keep up the good work. Once you get this into a form where every AI office you walk into will have a copy of your diagram pasted to one wall, the feedback will probably help you a LOT. Oh, and be sure to put your contact information in some corner, so people know where to send their comments.

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
