I don't like the "Langauge", but I understand it's a term we still use to refer to our different representations. As we progress in our design and implementation, we need many different representations to help us understand the system, and varying levels. Sequence, Use…
I think recording our assumptions is hard. If it's an assumption, how do we know we're making it? I assume stuff all the time without consciously doing it. I'm not sure we can effectively record our assumptions. Often we'll make assumptions around…
