    $\begingroup$ What does the darker green circle to the right mean to someone not having mastered the relevant Asian language? ;) $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 13, 2016 at 15:28

    $\begingroup$ @gwr Ha! Good question! It is a reference to the book "Go Rin no Sho" ("The book of five scrolls") by Miyamoto Musashi. We can say that the book contains patterns applicable in antagonistic conflicts. It presents the patterns in abstract forms applicable to person-to-person fights, battles between armies, or other antagonistic settings. Another interesting idea in this book is that if you practice the explained strategy with a samurai sword you will become capable applying that strategy when leading an army. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 13, 2016 at 15:54

    $\begingroup$ @LeonidShifrin My talk is somewhat rushed and non-linear -- I did not have enough time to cover things in better detail. I hope by end of the day to finish and upload a satisfactory first version of a document describing implementations of OO Design Patterns in Mathematica. (I have worked on it on-and-off for some time...) $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 13, 2016 at 18:59

    $\begingroup$ Well, the Japanese imported Chinese characters for their own use. I'm surprised that the on'yomi and the kun'yomi are the same, as @Shutao notes. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 14, 2016 at 2:20
