ABSTRACT
The work presented in the previous chapters represents a fabric of intertwined concepts drawn from various sources and combined in various ways. This breadth and complexity is both a strength and a weakness of the SCALIR approach. It is a strength in that it demonstrates how sharing of ideas between disciplines or paradigms can produce results unavailable to those who restrict themselves to the constraints of a given approach. It is a weakness in that it results in tensions and tradeoffs between the approaches, and makes evaluation more difficult.
