A diagram is an image that works. It spatializes semantic value, using the graphic features of spatial organization to express the semantic value of relations.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Diagrams can be understood as a strategy to deal with the structural complexity of the apparatus, enabling the creation of new games.claim0.819
  Following Flusser’s challenge, the paper claims that cybernetic diagrams are meta-tools for designing new rule systems.
• the diagram suggests a game strategy in which the rules of the device stimulate the modification of the game as it unfolds in favor of improvisation and noveltyquote0.791
  Veloso’s interpretation of the Fun Palace diagram as an open-game infrastructure that encourages emergent play.
• The diagrammatic workings of relations across elements is crucial to the emergent and contingent identity and operation of any element or feature in the system.claim0.773
  Central argument that identity is produced relationally through spatial dynamics.

  A new kind of urban plan that emphasizes the solid shape and volume of public space, showing hulls as three-dimensional envelopes, rather than just building footprints.

  Explicit question posed by Veloso to frame the investigation of cybernetic diagrams as strategies for engaging with black-box devices.
• What is needed to support individual acts of construction is a three-dimensional diagram of the actual shape of the needed space, more physical even than a model.claim0.754
  The core proposal for a new form of urban plan to guide piecemeal construction.
