Hi James,

James said:
the analogy is not accurate and "adaptive object models" are decades 
old.

Didier replies:
Can you explain your statement? Go you expand? Do you mean is decades old in
certain languages? Have you read the document at the site I referred? Have
you noticed that it is language independent? Is language independent
"adaptive Object Models" decades old? Come on James...

to take this example, in order to relieve the use of the "operator" 
task, the system would have to accept the assertion, that the even 
occurred, together with a description of its consequences, and proceed 
to rewrite the object metamodel and instance model itself. manual 
changes to the metamodel with automatic propagation to an instance 
model are old technology and are one level lower than the paradigm's 
aspirations.

Didier replies:
Can you explain how you would do that in C++ or Java? I am listening.

James said:
that's also still one level down.

Didier replies:
Can you explain?

Cheers
