Proposal for a Second Language

In addition to See the Systems we should be able to Speak System Language It became apparent to me this morning that schools could/should offer Systems Language as an alternative or addition to "second" languages.

I would strongly recommend teaching the combination of OPM, OPD, and OPL as a systems language.

There are several existing approaches to formalizing systems concepts as languages. My personal preference is to use diagrams (specified graphs) that can be translated to and from English. OPM fits my criteria. People that do not necessarily intend to become programmers or engineers would find great benefit from learning OPD.

.

I may be in a position to begin teaching this language to beginners within a couple of months or so.
