Bridges 2012 Short Paper

The appreciation of complex works in several disciplines can be facilitated by outlines: e.g., the outline in writing, the outline in poetry reading, the theme-development-theme-conclusion form in symphonic music, and the use of primary periods in Fourier analysis. However, outlines are a primary, level-1, organizational feature. In this paper, we explore use of secondary and tertiary organizational structure in writing, poetry reading and photograph storage.
