Paper

Causal Reconstruction, by Gary Borchardt

WRT: 2.0 hours

Assignment

Create eight slides for this work, including the following:

The Key Example slide is to show a sketch cum transistion-space description of a person giving a ball to another person. You are to use Borchardt's vocabulary in your description (A, D, delta, +, -, not A, not D, not delta, not +, and not -).

Be brief, but on this assignment, you are exempted from the one page requirement. If practicable, provide your slides two or three to the page.

Where you think explanation for us is needed, of the sort you would provide orally in a talk, enclose what you write in parentheses.

You may borrow freely from illustrations that appear in the paper. If you use PowerPoint or Impress regularly, great but you need not fight with slide making software or fret about not having such software. You may cut and paste or roughly trace material from the paper or provide your own rough sketches of what you have in mind.
