Title: To Bring Together To bring together some themes, interesting me... Self conscious writing... I regard the influence of what I have already written. I sense a need to relate my previous ideas and words. I wish to bring clarity to my own written explanations. Publishing revised written explanations is self validating. Now moving from feelings about writing... List ideas - open source, geometric metaphor, co-opportunity. Open source software has a potential human value of influence. Open source participates in reforming our information culture. Information systems assist human comprehension and behavior. Similtaneous orientations - accessability and functionality. Voluntary contributions are rewarded with authorship rights. Information is referenced to prior and possible dependencies. Integrating code, components, modules, platforms and networks. Information is post-structuraly adaptive, re-useable & refinable. Geometric metaphor - externalized associations for the mind. Geometric metaphor connects spacial pattern, concept and symbol. Coopportunity unites cooperation with freedom of opportunity. yehoshanah 23/4/2004
