Plans

3 Outlines

Short, intermediate, long... The short, intermediate outlines are at the beginning and may be used to restructure the whole text. The long outlines may be placed at the beginning of the parts and be used to restructure the parts

Shorter outlines may refer to longer ones. To avoid self-reference, no outline refers to itself or a shorter one. Outlines provide organization, which may be conceptual or rhetorical. They therefore assist in concept formation, understanding, writing, instruction, comprehension and use. Hierarchically organized outlines assist in the functions just listed... and can be useful in editing, concept formation and transformation. Implicit in the idea of the hierarchic outline is the concept of the conceptions of the field
