| Healing grid by Ryota Kanai |
Hodges' model is surely a clear winner 'healing grid'? Acting not only in healing, but in recovery, rehabilitation, reablement, palliative, illness and well-being too.
Quite a grid all-in-all (which also fascinate grandchildren).

Great to see this on X. This is something I created during my PhD time 20 years ago. https://t.co/7mpU0D1tW5

[125] 'Therefore, a mathematician babbles when he refers to cutting a given line in two. The actual line that he shows to us on the abacus has length and width. But the line he has in mind is a stroke with length and no width. What is drawn on the abacus cannot be such a stroke, and he who goes about cutting it cuts not the line that is but the line that is not.' (Sextus Empiricus, Against the Mathematicians 9.282) (n.b. The above is printed upside-down on the page.) Scatter the trace of the vessel from the ash. Pythagoras here is riddling about confusion and mental cloudiness, for if one wants to do philosophy one must pass over physical and sensible demonstration in favor of abstract argumentation. The ash is analogous to the dust on the abacus in which diagrams are delimited and proofs brought to an end. (Iamblichus, Exhortation to Philosophy 34)' p.55 | '[1] In ancient Greek, an abacus is a sand table. 'The abacist draws lines and maybe moves pebbles around the lines. When done, she wipes the sand blank. [2] A board or slab for drawing, computation, games; a cutting board. Technical term, likely to be a loanword, but conjectured origin in Hebrew abãq "dust" remains unproven. -- Pierre Chantraine, Dictionnaire etymologique de la langue greque.' p.10. |
'[122] The abacus computes and it erases. It tells a life. Then gambles it away. Achilles and Ajax sit down to play a game of dice. They have hung up their shields. They lean on their spears. They are tired. The Anatolian air is cold off the water. Attendants wrap them each in wool cloaks thick with eight-pointed stars. The stars wander along eddies and meanders. The only straight lines are servants of error. Their fingers are on the abacus, but Achilles and Ajax do not play, do not speak, lost in the maze of their cloaks. [124] The first reference in Western literature to written language is in the Iliad. An unsuspecting man in a story is carrying semata lygra / grapsas en pinaki ptukto thymophthora polla: baleful signs written on a folded tablet, utterly soul- destroying. The words, which some scholars conjecture to be Linear B, spell out the man's death, and the reader murders the unreading man. After the murder, Death Wipes the tablet blank and folds it back again.' p.54. | '[3] Because dust blows away and only the slab remains, an abacus is also the part of a column in immediate contact with what it supports. If that structure no longer survives, the abacus upholds the edifice of the sky.' p.10.  |

| Ordnance Survey said the historic triple alignment made landfall in Langton Matravers near Swanage on Wednesday |
"A small village has made map reading history and become the first place where true, magnetic and grid north have met at a single point.
According to the Ordnance Survey (OS) the historic triple alignment made landfall in Langton Matravers, near Swanage in Dorset, on Wednesday.
It will stay converged for three and a half years as it travels through the UK.
OS spokesman Mark Greaves said it was not related to climate change.
Records held by the OS, Britain's national mapping service, date back to the 1930s but Mr Greaves said this was the 'first time ever in British mapping history' the three norths had aligned.
'Magnetic north has a habit of wandering around, but this is unusual, it's not been in this orientation for hundreds of years,' he added"

"Only the grid is colorful, the rest of the video is in grayscale, but the lower resolution of our color perception makes the color assimilate/blend into the grayscale cells within the human visual system."

The context of Brinson's (2007) thesis is graphic design, but there are many insights, overlaps and references in a study that ...
"explores the logical integration of conceptual meaning into the grid structure" (p.61).
“All innovation and most design is the result of connections—the link between experience and action, between deductive logic and inductive insight, between the analysis of a problem and the verification of its solution”1 (p.2)
“The important thing to remember is that while a grid can help to generate a sense of unity and continuity in a design, it is within itself creative. In the hands of unskilled designers, grids can become straightjackets that inhibit creative concepts.”4 (p.5)
“Ostensibly, the best grids are based on a general evaluation of content and reflect the particular character and presentational requirements of that content.”78 (p.105)

If healthcare is to significantly reduce patient harm, a holistic perspective is necessary to capture the requirements and needs related to the culture, workflow, and technology associated with caring for patients. In this paper, we relate the problem to other industries and how these industries have addressed safety. We identify the current gaps in today’s healthcare approach and describe the actions that can be taken, and the change in mental models that must be made by the global healthcare community, to continuously improve patient safety. p.3 [my emphasis]
