design
This is not an analysis that could be abstract from any design. It is
on the contrary built up through a design process of an artificial
intelligence system, compared in many respects to a child, of whom one
would make the education.
Many justification is given by the example, in the mood: "It
could be like this, it is possible since I did it..."
Building up a system to test one's own hypotheses.
Learning and progressively enhancing the system, paralleled.
Communicating the result of the analysis is anyway building it again
in parallel in the writer and the reader: the accent is set upon the
task, the process of doing it. The analysis itself is not some static
data that could be transmitted. It is the search for formulations that
would be suitable for both the writer and the reader. (*Note culture:
