  1. See Salingaros and Mehaffy, "Geometrical Structuralism"
  2. There is a structure we can manage, because it is comprehensible. But there are limits - and powers - of language that we must understand so as to take full advantage. Language is a structure in nature, like any other (and more pervasive than we thought). This is its power, to address our challenges and enrich our experiences. See e.g. http://athensdialogues.chs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/WebObjects/athensdialogues.woa/45/wo/GjfKilUtZqFHjV7nh1pBO0/3.0.0.47.1.5.15.1.1.1.0.1
