Curve-Line System - Bluetoes edition

[BrianCham1994]

Hi Brian! I've seen your article before and I think the observations made there are very important. My point in the post you quoted was that when people say CLS they often refer to several different loosely defined systems that describe the preferences of glyphs to appear in certain sequences based on their shapes. There was your article, then there was some work by @pfeaster and now there is some investigation by @Bluetoes and I think I've seen other people try something similar too. So, there are no generic "CLS rules", and probably it makes sense to write explicitly what behavior one refers to or say something like "CLS patterns" when talking about this behavior in general.

Thanks for clarifying, as I didn't know about the additional "systems" kicked off by the original article's publication. It would be lovely to catch up with the latest work and continue the original investigation (we found some interesting things using genetic algorithms!), but alas, this field just demands so much investment. As a former co-worker once told me, "you can do anything, but you can't do everything!"
