Quotations
305 ;;Quote: a computer-aided design system should augment and stimulate the designer without awareness of highly complex computer programs; think almost entirely at the concept level within a field of interest; continually extended
306 ;;Quote: an n-component element is a set of attributes or properties defining a single unit of information; each component points to the specified property or element
306+;;Quote: a plex is an interconnect set of n-component elements; represents arbitrarily complex information from any source; e.g., a line has a type, a name, and its two end points
307 ;;Quote: uniform reference to n-component elements via component names, e.g., A(B(C(D)))) is component A of B of C of D
307 ;;Quote: any collection of knowledge about something can be modeled to any degree of detail by an appropriate plex; nothing simpler; foundation of the Computer-Aided Design System
307 ;;Quote: plex structures become so elaborate and interwoven that they are impossible to understand; need to automatically translate from language to plex structures
308 ;;Quote: transform natural language into the first-pass, plex structure via a left-to-right scan of the sentence; models the sentence but not the problem itself
310 ;;Quote: represent a vocabulary word with a type, left and right syntactic context, and left and right semantic context of the word
308 ;;Quote: large complex structures are built up step-by-step from simpler structures using discoverable natural laws; includes linguistic structures
308+;;Quote: if the natural laws of complex structures can be formulated mechanically, then the grand complexity will arise naturally and of itself
