@magno, the nicely ordered arrangement of Bruno’s magnitudes is attractive, and an ordered world according to mathematics has always been attractive. Pythagoras thought that math underpinned all of the cosmos and therefore took on a mystical significance. And since then, the more logic was used the more philosophy became mathematical. This is all mostly my opinion but it’s not how I think. I know I might hear from someone (you know who you are!) with a better philosophical background but it’s not my point.
What caught me was that I could read Bruno’s quadratic wheels as more of a computer program with endless function calls. That’s what you want for a nested palace and you end up in programming with a deep call stack.
Now it’s important to define your function and its input. I know it may not make a lot of sense, but since I taught programming I think in programming terms sometimes. Bruno’s call stack is procedural and will break down as it scales in size. What I have used is more of a OO function based on an item class datatype with an interface of an item to terrain/location conversion function with an ordered list like an array. My SEA-IT system uses five different class types.
I needed a chained type of design that would be able to store parents and children for geneologies and came up with a solution that works for me.
You can read the detail and the example but, in view of Bruno’s diagram, the first magnitude four letters are terrains/locations that have no previous assocation to an object. Those terrains/locations associate to items, the non-bold capitals as secondary magnitudes. Those secondary magnitudes convert to terrains/ locations which then have their own associated items (the lower-case letters) and so forth. I use a Roman room style placement but you can use a quincunx style of four or five placements for traversal.
What I like about this style is that is has no end and new items can be inserted when needed. Bruno’s diagram is a little too neat when reality is much more messy. Also his first order letters are traversed differently than the rest of the diagram. I like consistency in my rules.
There are many other solutions to chaining stories which could also be a way of seeing this but my linking design allows for the odd “transactions” of divorce, marriage, out-of-wedlock, multiple wives, and so on. Hope you get some value out of all this.
