Both cybernetic and semiotic diagrams sought to remove design from the autographic and subjective realm of the architect, taking an interest in understanding architecture as a process based on explicit rules.

The paper’s opening assertion that cybernetic and semiotic diagrams shared an anti-subjective formal ambition, despite ideological divergences.

Concluding statement of the paper projecting cybernetic open games as a counter to authorial parametric design.
Modern architectural design typically creates a schematic drawing containing hundreds of untested decisions, with no step-by-step testing against real life.claim0.803
Critique of current design practice: hundreds of variables frozen at once.

In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.777
Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
The schemata created by modern and modernistic architectural efforts in the 20th century are too crude to carry the load of creating living geometry.claim0.777

Claim that the semi-lattice overcomes the reductionism of tree diagrams, capturing real urban complexity.
