Theory in Practice Demo
Hi, this page is in writing and isn't complete.
It's in Steno Space, see the Proto page Theory in Practice, which is also not complete.
Points:
- Our hobby steno systems developed from professional steno, which itself developed from written shorthand before the era of realtime.
- Our hobby steno theories are extremely complex due to the nature of realtime steno.
- Steno theory complexity comes from conflicts, there's a disconnect between what we're writing and what we want to output
- all conflicts are avoidable, and I don't know why a system would ever set out to strive to have conflicts when they are not needed
- Conflicts are used by professionals for good reason
- Go over all types of conflicts and how they are avoidable
- Guide through how I ended up making Pinchord, a fully conflict-less system that retains most of the benefits of steno
