Case said: The point remains that concentric circles do not work as a diagram for the MoQ. Branches on the other hand do capture both each level growing out of the level below and the ongoing relationship between them.
dmb says: The circle is a symbol of wholeness, completeness. So as a model of the universe that makes sense. The image of a tree with branches, however, falls apart the moment we ask what the soil represents, what the tree is rooted in. And what does the sky refer to in that diagram? What is that whole stage upon which we find this tree? Jeez, I think math geeks and computer scientists should just stay the hell away from metaphors. _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE Web site, company branded e-mail and more from Microsoft Office Live! http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
