All,
Quickly recapping the discussion so far, we started with a data
structure called an “idea‑form flag” [1] and adopted it as a building
block for constructing a species of graph-theoretic data structures called
“painted and rooted cacti” [2]. We showed how to code the abstract forms
of cacti into character strings called “cactus expressions” [3] and how to
parse the character strings into “pointer structures” [4] in computer memory.

At this point we had to choose between two expository strategies.
A full account of Theme One's operation would describe its use of cactus graphs
in three distinct ways, called “lexical”, “literal”, and “logical” applications [5].
The more logical order would approach the lexical and literal tasks first. That is
because the program's formal language learner must first acquire the vocabulary its
propositional calculator interprets as logical variables. The sequential learner
operates at two levels, taking in sequences of characters it treats as “strings” or
“words” plus sequences of words it treats as “strands” or “sentences”.

Finding ourselves more strongly attracted to the logical substance, however,
we leave the matter of grammar to another time and turn to Theme One's use of
cactus graphs in its reasoning module to represent logical propositions on the
order of Peirce's alpha graphs and Spencer Brown's calculus of indications.
