Holy cow, this is fascinating stuff. I am really digging on these Aspects. Is there going to be a "What is Setting, Part 5"?

I'm really going to be reevaluating some things in light of these ideas, because I think they're wonderfully illuminating about areas I need to further develop.

Also: I have bookmarked your interblag.

Socratic design is unfortunately not mine, it Troy Costisick's. The blog has been pretty silent for a while, but one can hope.
