“Similarly computers can be made entirely from just a single kind of simple component which does a comparison: if both inputs are true then the output is false, otherwise the output is true. The rest is “just organisation” of these elements. A powerful approach is to set up the components so they can manifest a symbolic machine (software), and the software can then be further organised to make ever higher level software “machines”.”

“Partial solution: structured writing (aka Information Mapping®) Structured writing is an integrated synthesis of tools and techniques for the analysis of complex subject matters (primarily explanation and reporting) and a group of standards and techniques for the management of large amounts of rapidly changing information. It includes procedures for planning organizing sequencing and presenting communications. For stable subject matters, you can divide all the relevant sentences into 40 categories. Examples are: Analogy, Definition, Description, Diagram, Example, Non-example, Fact, Comment, Notation, Objectives, Principle, Purpose, Rule, etc. Some of the sentences stand by themselves in these categories (e.g. Definitions, Examples). Others make sense as part of larger structures (e.g. Parts-Function Table).”
