I have been working at a design for a science-themed roguelike which is at base a sophisticated crafting system. The building block of this world is [vectors by which a thing can be converted to another thing]. In my model, engineering and cooking and chemistry are exactly the same thing. The kettle example here sought to be whimsicle, but struck me as an expression of the same idea. This constructor thing appears to be a mechanism for compressing lots of different ideas into a single notation, from which you can run equations. If I understand it correctly, then the kettle would be a good kitchen-table analogy for that complex idea. Another would be - consider how much better suited arabic numbers are than Roman for reasoning about equations. [update] I'm glad for the criticism article - has given context and momentum to create a proof of concept. Using water, kettle and power.
