[Ailist] 4D or 5D

[Rob Voyle]

Hi AIers

I'm new to the list and realtively new to the formal AI approach 
(thanks to Lynn Johnson and Liz Workman, your efforts are much 
appreciated).  My principal focus is on using AI in churches and 
also with individuals as part of a coaching program.  As I have been 
scanning the websites and literature.  I notice a change from the 
4D to 5D model.  This makes sense to me as in good AI theory the 
definition will determine what we discover etc.  What intrigues me 
then is the circular model.  does definition belong in the circle 
perimeter, or outside (probably not), or at the center?  

In some ways when it is at the center it becomes the "ground" of 
the process.  But in the process what we discover may require a 
change in the definition implying that it really belongs in the 
perimeter, and is contnually open to being redefined.

My question is not just from a theoretical perspective.  I'm working 
on the graphic layout of an AI brochure and prefer to use the 5D 
model.
