Thinking Loop
TGN is a set of software features proposed for open source development and implementation in all modeling applications/platforms. Here’s where TGN fits, in the present and future landscape of digital media and software development:

like e=mc2
Know a recording (any song) with more energy, let me know in the comments. 18 minutes like e=mc2, starts small, then… Use ear phones. Recorded in a club in Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania in 1975 on who knows what equipment, sound quality is bad. Doesn’t matter though. It’s a nuclear power plant:

Sea Change
I don’t mind starting 2023 with metaphors, even bathroom humor. Here we go then. Standardizing the way we describe, store, and share model elements and properties is necessary (vital) and excellent work, all within “Bin 1” (modeling). “Bin 2” is (ways of looking at models). As in other domains, number 1 and number 2 go…

BIM/CDE adoption would increase, if…
in our industry, with our forms of media, and our necessary expression of attentive focus, its FORM must evolve, once it resides in-situ within models. AFR/TGN is a proposal for that evolution.

good news for TGN in 2023 and 2022 recap
2023 could see TGN made real for the first time. Core AFR features may be developed on at least one (of many great) modeling platform(s), to start with. The right group of people are coming together to make this happen. I’m expecting to make some announcements by February or so. TGN is my contribution to…

Why not bring something else into the light of DAY
I really like Martyn Day’s state of the industry, now with targets in all directions https://www.linkedin.com/posts/daymartyn_towards-bim-20-why-the-emperor-has-no-clothes-activity-7003255695126986752-rLhu Particularly his comment: “Some buildings will be design by template. Some people will stick with lego cad. Some will be more concerned about tools for geometric definition. Some will be more concerned about fabrication. Some want to work only…

Develop TGN because it’s beautiful and necessary
Develop TGN because it’s beautiful and necessary. Those of us interested in this are seeking now, and will formalize a process for, those who can contribute development resources to a TGN open source development project. The goal is to make TGN available to everyone in every model-handling app/platform who’s developers implement TGN. Here’s a summary…

What drawing does for mental models, TGN does for digital models
AFR/TGN is proposed software development that will do FOR DIGITAL MODELS what technical drawing did (for centuries) FOR MENTAL MODELS. Commentary: TGN is proposed as open source development suitable for implementation in ALL model-handling softwares. A TGN user community should be stood up to define, evolve, and manage the TGN specification and its implementations. A…

A fundamental observational error
There is an oft-repeated observational error here that continues to retard the development and use of digital modeled environments of all kinds: the metaverse is about transforming how we humans experience the digital world. Since the dawn of computing, digital content has been accessed primarily through flat media viewed in the third person. In the metaverse, our…

Jack Warner in 1926 preferred silent film over sound film (fusion). Was he right?
Jack Warner in 1926 preferred silent film over sound film (fusion). Was he right? …if a platform is able to merge the benefit of the diagram with the understanding of the model it’s feasible, but this ecosystem in a usable and versatile system seems to be a pipe dream at this point I specified the…
