[Icehouse] RE: Zendo rules question

[Carol Townsend]

I would be interested in examples of how to take these "not so good" rules
and turn them into "better" rules - and then possible taking those "better"
rules and turning them into "really great rules"

For example:
Not so good:  "AKHTBN iff one piece points at the corner of another piece."
is this better?  "AKHTBN iff one piece points at another piece."
would it be even better to take this one more step to:  "AKHTBN iff exactly
one piece points at only one other piece."

There are my quick, lame attempts at Koan editing - I'd love to see what
others would do.
