That is geared towards coming up with new rules I presume.

Think about it: creating software is creating new rules. You gotta start somewhere and refine the system.

But if you learn an existing rule system, you need to follow it first, then break them, then transcend/improve them.

I see The Analytical Language of John Wilkins was posted again today. While you're creating those rules, it's important to remember the map is not the territory.
