III. Filing systems, symbol-structuring, language
are these equivalent? the ongoing debate between hierarchical ordering and "intertwingling" (Nelson)
visualizing complex concept structures--cf. Brooks, Wesch, Twittervision (100 col. 2)
IV. Specification, Organization, Content
fractal iterations
V. The problems
1. Understanding doesn't just resolve complexity; it increases it as well
2. Are all complex symbol structures fractal in their construction?
3. Do higher levels always contain lower levels in a readily communicable form? letters words sentences and up the chain....

specification- identity
like fractals- self similar. three levels of organization seem to be infinite and interrelated... thinking about thinking (conceptual framework)- still sounding out the letters |

Here are some of my notes from the class, regarding the three structures:
Three structures specification - categorization (eg: college course) organization - organizational structure (eg: the syllabus) content - actual data/materials (eg: the blogs, class meetings, comments, wiki contributions, final project, delicious, textbook, etc.) |

"We are still sounding out the letters when we think about thinking about computers." An interesting idea, because outside of my obvious obsession with language, it has so much potential. Fluency, insight, and rapid problem solving. Thinking about thinking. Computers will allow us to visualize the complex structure so that the 7 boxes within the mind can now contain multiple boxes within them. A sort of Russian nesting doll for the mind. Very cool.
