Hi Diego:

 

I propose that one begin by identifying and then ordering all

of the levels of abstraction associated with the subject. This

requires, as a prerequisite, that one has a clear idea of

exactly what the subject is that you wish to explain.

 

Then fill in that 'outline'  enough so that one is more clear

which questions/issues are answered at each level of

abstraction.

 

Then, always being clear which level of abstraction you are

dealing with, discuss the subject systematically from the

most abstract to the most concrete necessary level of

abstraction.  It might be possible (and, indeed, I think it is

permissible) to have an order of exposition which

doesn't follow quite the same order provided one has already

worked out analytically all of the inter-connections. But,

for purposes of dialogue, it is less confusing to proceed

in the above order.

 

In solidarity, Jerry
