Particularly, the following exploration focuses on the singling out, manipulation and storing of memories in form of concrete images but also of spatial schemes and patterns, acting as spatial references for drawing on a blank space.
On the basis of the mathematical models of abstract systems as developed in preceding section, formal manipulations of abstract and concrete systems can be described by a denotational mathematics known as system algebra.
"Their playful manipulation of words looked a lot like concrete poetry," said Rick Poynor, a writer, critic and authority on graphic design, who contributed to "Notes from the Cosmic Typewriter".
Complex designs are frequently parameterised so that they represent families of objects rather than single artifacts, and building them requires design environments that support both the concrete visualisation and manipulation of components, and the abstract specification of how they are related.

The curves provide a complex manipulation of the normal grid-spaces of our concrete and psychological environments.
