Chapter IV Notrophic, Democratic Politics and System Design
Conceptuality
In system design, conceptual integrity should be the most important consideration. That is to say, in order to reflect a series of coherent design ideas, it is rather some irregularities and improvements, nor to advocate independent and unable to integrate systems, even if they do actually contain a lot of well-designed.
2. The ratio of functionality and understanding of complexity is the final test standard for system design. But the function itself or easy to use is unable to become a good design evaluation standard.
3. Simple and straightforward from the integrity of the concept. Each section must reflect the same principle, principles and consistent compromise. In the grammatical, each part should use the same skills; in semantics, it should have the same similarity. Therefore, ease of use actually requires design consistency and conceptual integrity.
4. The concept of integrity requirements must be implemented by one person, or very small number of tacit people.
5. The system architecture refers to a complete and detailed user interface description. The architecture must be separated by carefully.
6. The author does not think that only structural teachers have good ideas. New concepts often come from implementers or users. However, the conceptual integrity of the system determines the easy degree of use. Good ideas and features that cannot be integrated with the basic concepts of the system, it is best to put it on one side and do not consider. If there is a lot of very important but incompatible concepts, you should abandon the original design, merged with different basic concepts, starting on the merged system.
7. The integrity of the concept does require the system to reflect only the only design concept, and the technical description of the user from a few people. Actual work is divided into architecture, design implementation, and physical implementation, but this does not mean that the system takes longer to create a longer time in the development mode. Experience shows that the entire system will develop faster, and the test time required will be less. Compared with the horizontal segmentation of the work, vertical division has fundamentally greatly reduced labor, the result is a great improvement of communication thoroughly and conceptual integrity.
