ABSTRACT

On order Order surrounds us as part of our everyday experience of the world. We see this in the games we play, the tables that we eat at and even the books that we read. On a football field, a line defines sides, a perimeter defines borders and a frame defines the goal. A place setting structures a meal and defines it as either casual or formal. Text presents itself as words, sentences, paragraphs, sections and chapters. As you read this page, you rely on its organization, its division of space. A large vertical portion holds the text while off to the side is a smaller portion holds illustrations and notes. is is the architecture of this book – its order.
