An IBIS-style conversation proceeds like this:
Q1
A1
A2
Q2
A3
A2'
That is an analysis step. The next steps lead
toward synthesis.
Note that A2 is a restated version of A2. Someone
notices this fact and creates a new version of
both that replaces them. The new structure now
has two references to A2''. (What is viewed as
a hierarchy is in reality a graph, at this point.)
The "synthesis" step occurs when A2'' is chosen
as the desirable alternative, because it achieves
multiple goals. (Call it an Occam-friendly system.)
The view of the synthesis is then an inversion of
the original hierarchy:
A2''
Q1
Q2
In other words, when asking the question, "What
motivated A2?" or "Why was A2 chosen?" the answer
is given in the form: "What questions did A2
address?" Under each question, of the course, the
full hierarchy of alternatives and discussion can
be found.
