Subject:   Human versus tool systems


One thought that I had at last week's session, as we were discussing Doug's five diagrams, was that language should fall under the tool systems category rather than human systems. This led me to wonder whether there was a better way of differentiating between human and tool systems. I came up with some potential solutions, but I'm not completely satisfied with any of them, and if I tried to describe my thought-process here, I'd surpass Eric's record for longest diatribes. :-) Do other people have thoughts on this?

Sincerely,

-Eugene
