I have not received this message Jecel sent to the list to
respond to my concerns. Will you please someone e-mail
it to me?

Moreover I would like to know the elements of an open
computational system.
For example in architectural design, the main elements
are  activities, structural systems, ecohydraulic systems
building systems, environmental comfort (thermal, lighting
and acoustics),  beauty, and so on...

I suspect elements such as distributed systems, interoperability,
concurrent and parallel systems correspond to the above elements
in architectural design....But I want to see all of them listed...

Moreover I am not sure but I think the concept of architectonic object
that grows to the concept of neighborhood, then to borough then to
cities then to bioregions, continents finally Mother Earth
correspond to the concept of object, then classes, then metaclasses
meta-metaclasses and so on ...
Have you grasped my ideas?

Best wishes
Albertina
PS. PLease e-mail to me until the bug with e-mail is not solved.
