Ok got this. Related to GUI, Alan shows three axes: Body/gesture 
centered, visions/iconic centered and symbolic centered. Does the later 
includes scripting he mentioned?. Under Alan perspective, and my 
understanding this is what ensure deeper knowledge understanding. I am 
tempted to add a fourth axes, mentioned in your notes by the way:

> Agenda of Tasks (editing a document is also a task); progress; time 
> frame; reminders

This is the task. Itself predicted/guessed/framed by four axes: What? 
Who? Where? When?

Take an example:

This is the beginning of the lesson (When). The student (who) opens her 
Dynabook. This is the art course (What). The student is in the classroom 
(Where)

The GUI is bent to match these four axes framing the task the user may 
want to conduct.

I think all these match our very personal way of conducting things.
