1 – 2 – 3 – LOTS! I recall that – long time ago, at school, the teacher wrote on the board: 1 -2 – 3 – LOTS. I don’t remember exactly why she did this and what the context – the lesson – the learning was. I think it was about Scale & Complexity. […]
The Model is the Interface The Model with the Fewest Key Elements Representing the System, The Domain The HNS Browser, 1987: displayed on a Compaq Portable PC. The Model of the Human Nervous System – with the fewest key elements as Categories represented by (simple*, graphical symbolic) Containers as a “Browser” (browse, select/point and click). […]
An Evolutionary Series of Information Modelling CONSTRUCTS Created and explored in a series of projects – initiated by the Concept Demonstrator ‘The HNS Browser’ in 1986/7, originally picked up by IBM UK New Technologies Group at Hursley Park, Winchester (‘The GPE’ Project), and subsequently supported by Sun Microsystems, The Textile Industries Department at the University […]
The ‘Frameworks’ Browser The ‘Frameworks’ Browser is one of the 3 Principal Sections of the Magic Browser Website. The Magic Browser Website chronicles (i) the Context (ii) the Evolutionary Series of “Information Modelling Tools” and Prototype Demonstrator Applications developed and delivered during the late 1980s and through the 1990s under the banner of the ‘IMP […]
Structured Thinking Structured thinking is said to be a methodical and logical approach to problem-solving. It helps data professionals to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts, identify areas that need further investigation, and understand the relationships between different elements.‘Frameworks’ and Independent* Structured Thinking ‘Frameworks’ is about structured thinking, about managing chaos and reducing information […]
Computational Thinking CT refers to thought processes required in understanding problems and formulating solutions. CT involves logic, assessment, patterns, automation, and generalization. Refer: UK GCSE Computer Science The 4 cornerstones, the 4 skills of CT are listed as: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. CT represents a universally applicable attitude and skill set everyone, not just […]
Thinking Visual; Thinking Verbal, Semantic, Narrative This is a ‘Thinking Model’ about ‘Frameworks’ and Visual Thinking Different people think in different ways. There is a variety of Thinking [See Book: Page 160; ‘Frameworks’ is about Thinking about Thinking and delivers a Methodology for Structured Thinking and Tool for Representing Thinking (Independent Thinking]: There is a […]
‘Frameworks’ BIG IDEAS This is a “Thinking Model” about Big Ideas Around ‘Frameworks’. [Is it “correct”? Is it “comprehensive”?][‘Thinking Models” are representations – graphical- of thinking and understanding] [“Thinking Models” are a “snapshot” of Thinking] [As snapshots, Thinking Models need not be comprehensive] [As Thinking Evolves e.g. driven by data][As Thinking evolves e.g. informed by […]

‘Frameworks’ BIG IDEAS There are a number of ideas (“Big Ideas”) around ‘Frameworks’. “Big Ideas” including the following short list. “Big Ideas” such as “Agency” and “Personal Computing” and “Structured Thinking”. My thinking about these ideas. I have discussed a few of these in the Book: ‘Frameworks’ A Simple Methodology for Structured Thinking; Making Sense […]
