About Notations (II)

“Anticipation: (...) notation's more radical possibility lies in the possibility of proposing alternative realities. (...) “directed indeterminacy”: proposals that are robust and specific enough to sustain change over time, yet open enough to support multiple interpretations.
Invisible: (...) includes the phenomenological effects of light, shadow, and transparency; (...) - and perhaps more significantly - program, event, and social space.
Time: (...) Interval, duration, and tempo, acceleration and accumulation are the key variables in a notational schema.” (From ‘Practice architecture, technique and representation’, Mapping the unmappable: on notation- Glossary: working definitions, by Stan Allen, page 41 and 42)
