On second thought, maybe it wasn't so clear. The rest of the idea is that these notations for domain-specific exploratory programming need to be drawn from the metaphors already in use, such as in physiology the metaphors or notations of compartmental models and kinetic diagrams. By building the notations around the metaphors that are already commonly used, we use the user's knowledge of their own domain to validate the form of the models or programs. They have accumulated skills and techniques which they (automatically or as part of standard practice) apply to the definition of the problem using the notation. Sorry for the lack, I've been working on this &$^#%^@ dissertation for so long I no longer remember my name.... . see, now I think I'm using ed.... Charlie Martin (crm@cs.duke.edu,mcnc!duke!crm)
