1.3.2 Summarizing work-flow using stepwise procedure into set of rules

1.2.2 Summarizing work-flow using stepwise procedure into set of rules.

In figure 1-7 the pseudocode(f) rightly demonstrates the importance of setting clear design intent for deciding the hierarchy of steps required to flow through data that may help achieve a desired outcome. This decision making process here becomes of paramount importance as the previous step influence the next step.

Here the student defines constrains of vertical division, quantity of red & location while uses the horizontal division, proportions of red, These initial steps established through parameter, constrain and rules would have a direct relationship on the behavior of remaining steps in the pseudocode(d) .

Setting up domains for your parameter places such a system at the forefront of probabilistic design where the result adhere to the designers initial intent supported a strong logic.

Pseudocode(f) is a non programming language used to outline a rough draft of script syntax in simple words by establishing procedure of various rules, parameters and constraints. It summarizes a program flow, but excludes underlining details.

Pseudocode

STEP 01: DEFINE A PRECINCT

Defining a rectangle with original proportions i.e. 3:2. Calculate area of the rectangle. Calculate area of red rectangle i.e. 30% of total area. Constraint : The proportion of the precinct.

STEP 02: DEFINE THE CONTROL LINE TO CREATE TWO STORIES

Divide the rectangle as per the original proportions i.e. 7:5, by a vertical line into two stories: The story of Simplicity & The story of Chaos Constraint: The position of the control line.

STEP 03: DEFINE THE STORY CONNECTOR

Add a horizontal line that connects both the stories together and creates the room of red, black and yellow. Parameter: Position of story connector varies In Y-axis from 10% to 40% length of the shorter Axis of the sector.

STEP 04: DEFINE THE DOMINANT RED

Create the red rectangle of the fixed area (calculated in step 02) by adding a vertical line in the room of red. Change this line with respect to the story connector keeping area of red constant. Parameter: Position of the line varies in X-axis. Constraint: Area of the dominant red.

STEP 04

DEFINE THE FIRST BLACK COUSIN

Create the black rectangle by adding a vertical line in the room of black. Parameter: Position of line varies in X-axis Maximum area: 15% of area of red.

STEP 06: CREATE THE ROOM OF YELLOW & BLUE

Calculate the area of room of yellow rectangle. Create a vertical line that divides the larger void of the chaotic story into two non-equal parts. Parameter: The area of room of blue is always greater than area of room of yellow.

STEP 07: DEFINE THE BLUE TWIN

Create the blue rectangle of the fixed area by adding a horizontal line in the room of blue. Parameter: Position of the line varies in Y-axis. Constraint: Area of the blue twin.

STEP 08: DIVIDE THE ROOM OF YELLOW

Create a subdivision in the room of yellow by adding a horizontal line. The areas of yellow rectangle and blue rectangles are equal. Thus, they are called twins.

STEP 08

STEP 09: DEFINE THE YELLOW TWIN

Create the yellow twin of fixed area by adding a vertical line. The rectangle formed as a by-product is the second black cousin. Parameter: Position of the line varies in X -axis. Constraint: Area of the yellow twin equal to Area of blue twin.

STEP 10: DEFINE THE COMMON SUBDIVISION (IF TRUE)

Create a subdivision which is a part of both the stories by adding a horizontal line. Position of line at original proportions. Constraint: Position of horizontal line Creating the common subdivision, if present.

STEP 11: TRIM THE CONTROL LINE (IF TRUE)

Trim the control line from the common subdivision. Thus, making the common subdivision as one element present in both the stories simultaneously.

STEP 12: INTENSIFYING THE CHAOS (IF TRUE)

Add horizontal and vertical lines in the story of chaos to intensify. Make subdivisions by adding terminating lines in the voids.

Rule: Paint one rectangle black with addition of every four lines. Rule: number of horizontal lines added = number of vertical lines added.
