Social and Group Action - Classifying areas of action for focus

1.      Classify action in general

2.      Define my focus…pick out the main foci. Example: Knowledge - writing; Application - institute/group; General social - writing, communication, individual and group action

3.      Redefine in relation to one another, my personal focus and over-topic(s) such as the Elements Of Being…

4.      Simplify [contract] the clasification from four items to the, simplest structure that gets the essence of action potential

                     i.       Defining the classifications carefully

                   ii.       Finding "isomorphisms" among the classifications…especially modes, means and levels…keep areas separate?

Spaces for Comments

This is an example of a manual scratch pad application for playing with concepts and ideas. Topics are written in the four quadrants and then modified: 1. By mutual interaction, 2. By consideration relative to an overall scheme [item 3, above] and 3. Simplification and or contraction [Example: reduce the number of categories i - iv, above. Automation begins as follows: in Word 22x22" pages are possible and fit nicely with a 30" screen; automate with Visual Basic to find and send items among quadrants…reserved words are not necessary since styles…can also be used
