Robert Horn/ Information Mapping

In the 5364 Moo, someone mentioned Robert Horn & information mapping. I think it was Tom. Anyhow, I googled him and am now looking into the topic. Peeking into it.

Just wanted to document it so I don't lose track.

Also locate George A Miller's "The magic seven, plus or minus two (7±2) rule of thumb."

From a pdf here, there's main points about the non-trademarked Structured Writing:

Building blocks and principles
Structured Writing is an integrated set of novel techniques, approaches, and principles:
• The information block as unit of information.
• The precise specification of different kinds of information blocks for specific purposes.
• A content analysis approach of information types that clusters different information blocks.
• An intermediate unit of structured writing, the information map, for easy and natural topic
clustering.
• A comprehensive and systematic set of criteria for labeling blocks and maps.
• A specification of where graphics should be used and where text would be better.
• Easy-to-scan formats and templates.
• The incorporation of research results from many fields and the creation of an ongoing research
program to keep the methodology current
