Swar schema

http://geocities.com/n8chz/swar.txt

The swar schema is my designation for mathematical modeling and data visualization using graph embedding. S and W represent strong and weak, in the sense of physical forces being strong or weak. Physical force is not generally what is being modeled, though. A and R represent attraction and repulsion, like in electrostatics. Again, electrostatics is used here as an analogy for other things. This notion appears to be the operating principle of Versa CAD&reg;, but my reading so far on that subject has me inconclusive.

Like maxhi schema, swar schema uses a 2&times;2 cartesian square as a mnemonic gimmick. The swar "primitives" sa, sr , wa and wr apply to unordered pairs of pubwan virtual object's. As with maxhi, such assignments can come from any pubwan participant, and would normally represent normative (subjective) preferences or assumptions.
