Hmmm. As is obviously not clear from my writing, I
used the word 'first' with a typical sequence of
events in mind, interpreting

Leont'iev's "idea of internalization-externalization
as transitive processes in the system of man's object-
related activity"

in part as a temporal process. The particular case
from which I got my data also was a place full of
users rather than designers.

Of course, first does have another meaning, and even
with a temporal emphasis, there are real time sequences
and other sequences.

What fascinated and continues to fascinate me is how
these processes unfold in 'object-related activity,'
what resources are deployed, how they are deployed,
and how skillfully human beings juggle multiple
intelligences.

I'm not sure I could do much with circles to even begin
to represent processes and sequences, but I'm no good
with graphics anyhow ...
