Threads of Reasoning

abstract A method of reasoning is described, which addresses cross-cutting issues. The basis is fast iteration in the problem and solution space.

A thread of reasoning is a set of highly relevant related issues, which are addressed by articulating the problem in terms of tension and analyzing it in the CAFCR framework.
