parallelism and multiples

I thought more about parallel processing done by computers when reading the chapter on parallelism, which is a strategy to process data faster by using multiple computer brains simultaneously. Parallelism itself is a process to analyze, compare, contrast information in a systematic way. It is a way to relate and link information. It can get complex with multiple layers and elements, but it does keep information in an organized space. Another interesting concept was about faulty and inaccurate parallelism in design and language. Disinformation design?

The chapter on multiples was more interesting and easier to understand, understandable illustrations and text. A very useful tool in differentiation, comparison between similars and in depicting change or a sense of motion over time. Also a very bold way to organize information. The chapter reminded me about the first project ( i think it was Heather's) on sandals and how the concept of multiples was used. That justified a whole lot of diagrams that were present in the book. Knowingly or unknowingly, the way that the sandals were classified with respect to coherent features (yet different) is definitely a "multiples" concept.
