How do we Think? How do we Organise Our Thinking? How do we Organise our Understanding? How do we Access Key Information (as gathered and saved) How do we Represent Our Thinking, Our Understanding? How can We Model Our Thinking? What for? As visual interfaces; as browsers for key information; knowledge; ideas? How can we […]
The ‘Frameworks’ Project The ‘Frameworks’ Project was initiated around 2011. The FIRST PHASE has been completed: with the Publication of the ‘Frameworks’ Book, the Updating of the Magic Browser Website to include “The ‘Frameworks’ Browser” – which includes the launch of the web-based Prototype ‘Frameworks’ Tool. The Second Phase will hopefully follow – when time […]
There is sketching out ideas on the back of an envelope/napkin etc. There is trying to get an overview of all the key points in a theoretical framework on “one side of A4//the back of a (large) envelope. “SYMBOLS” in the top left-hand corner – “REPRSENTATION” in the bottom right-hand corner. “FRAMED, RULE-BASED (CONSTRAINED) CONSTRUCTION […]
Modelling Things. Modelling (large and complex) Systems. Modelling (large and complex) Domains. Analysing and reducing complexity to manageable proportions. The ‘Frameworks’ Methodology and the web-based ‘Frameworks’ Tool. “The Intelligent Frame” – provides a way for independent* structured thinking and the construction of simple graphical models for the representation and sharing* of thinking and understanding. * […]
Some thoughts: Computing is about Computing Machines and about People; about Thinking, Designing, Engineering and the Implementation and Fulfilment of Tasks.. Following the R&D by engineers and computer scientists (the development of Mainframe Computers, the development of the silicone chip, the development of “personal” (desktop) computers, the development of disk-operating systems like MS-DOS, and the […]
The First Edition, January 2025 https://magicbrowser.co.uk/frameworks-book/ About the context of ‘Frameworks’, about some of the ideas, the methodology and the tool. The Magic Browser Website/’Frameworks’ The Prototype Methodology & Tool ‘Frameworks’ TRY IT OUT! https://frameworks.gserv.co.uk/
Some History The history of computing is long and interesting. See: https://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/ The Antikythera mechanism The Antikythera mechanism is believed to be the earliest known mechanical analogue computer. Designed to calculate astronomical positions. Ada Lovelace About a century before Konrad Zuse designed the first programmable computing machine, in the 1840s, Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer programme in […]
The ‘Frameworks’ Book – First Edition – is published with the support of The Brandspire Press. See: https://magicbrowser.co.uk/frameworks-book/ My aim is – from time to time – to POST various ideas around ‘Frameworks’ and The ‘Frameworks’ Methodology and the ‘Frameworks’ Tool. e.g. Creativity?; Structured Thinking?; ‘Frameworks as a Methodology and Tool for Thinking; Personal Computing […]
