Initially Collections are only the result of an AccumulationProcess - ButUnless - They may lead to becoming an SingleArtifact - ThinkingOutLoud.DonaldNoyes.20141031 0800
Some people are collection animals - gathering a bunch of stuff and putting in a container or two or many, for FuturePurposes
While Collections may appear to be only a StackOfStuff, each collection is in a sense the stuff for making of single things.
- WeNeedExamples
- A book is a collection (a stack) of pages
- A painting is an assembly of colored pigments
- A drawing is a positioning of symbolic elements
- and some more of TheOtherThings
Some things which are a StackOfStuff lend themselves to assembly or forming processes into artifacts because they are already organized when piled up.
Other stacks are ConfusedTangledAndUseless, ButUnless, they may become orderly by a process of organization and filtering, where stuff is taken from the pile and sorted into two piles:
- One - OrganizedOnPurpose
- Two - Things remaining ConfusedTangledAndUseless
