What do
- DesignPatterns
in a textbook,
- CrcCards
on a conference room table and
- Pages in a WikiWikiWeb site
have in common?
- Each is an ArtfullyIncompleteSpecification.

- They depend upon visualizations, creative imagination, references by name or image, and the involvement of other people or other ideas.
