As far as reading/writing up/down right/left I think that writing in the forms of mind mapping is at least sometime preferable.
In a way you can look at each verb as a bubble and each locale a collection of bubbles. I have often thought it would be nice to be able to collect the names and group them and just open a bubble as needed when working on a system and have it presented in a similar way as mind maps do. Within each line things are not always strictly right to left as operators take arguments left and right and have different scope. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
