Hi Gavin,
Could you develop your thoughts on "...subject-verb-object which forces us
to think in cause effect"? I always have a class on this very topic each
sememster, in an attempt to give students insight into "converting"
systems thinking to plain, simple verbally communicated concepts. Although
I think it is beneficial, I personally never feel that I/we have done it
much justice. I would like to hear more.
