it sometimes takes other viewpoints and conversations to remember something obvious - like making sure a written or presented rhetoric always threads back to the main topic. 

It was clear from the questions and conversations that arose after my lecture on June23rd at CCS, that I had some interesting 'chunks' and hypothesis, but they were far from being streamlined into a sensible cohesion. 

My conversation with the CCS researchers really helped me to refocus my own work. I drew up the above diagram while talking with Shigeki. It ended up being a model for plugging my research into before meeting back with Yusuf on Friday where the agenda was to further clarify my research questions and methodology.
