Dear Jason Thanks for the reply. I also contacted Nicolas before you left for Toronto.
I have some C++ code (which doesn't quite work) and I would like to move this to sage. The code works with planar graphs and reduction rules. As I understand it sage has some Graph classes and so my planar graph class should relate to that (it is not a simple inheritance). I have not seen any support for reduction rules in sage (I know you can call for instance GAP). Presumably this means introducing some new classes. As well as introducing new classes I imagine this also introduces some new categories. I have looked at the documentation. I have looked at your notes. I still don't grasp the concepts of categories/parents/elements (sorry, I appreciate that's difficult for you to respond to). My inclination is to think about design before coding. At the moment I am learning Python and rewriting my code in Python. At some point I will move on to Sage. I am hoping that while I am doing this I can also discuss design with you, and/or Nicolas and/or any other expert who has the time and patience. I am clear in my own mind about this project. I believe that if we had an hour together in front of a blackboard that I could explain it to you. I am not sure how to get the discussion off the ground here.
