First Pass
This morning, I got pretty deep into Part One of Taxonomy III.
Early this afternoon, I decided I was doing it wrong; it needs a complete rewrite.
These things happen.
(This part of the paper requires building a big chunk of new machinery. I found myself struggling with bits and pieces of the machinery, and realized that the way out was... MORE ABSTRACTION!)
(That's what abstraction is for: tying things together, and not having to do the same thing over and over. Do it once, do it right, and DONE!)
