In a metaphor, a person may be free to write a story, but don't hand them a pen
that doesn't work, becuase that means they can't then exploit there freedom.
I don't agree at all that it can only work in an unorganised way, and my
previous emails propose organisation in one specific example.
However, I also elaborated before to say that the answer I'm after in this
thread is for 'any' way of solving the problem, even if it's drastically
irrational and hacky!. I just want to map.
