Many of the posts in this blog depend on ideas developed in previous blogs. In each post I have tried to make these links easier by:

1. Suggesting previous posts that should be read first (at the beginning)
2. Indicating posts that provide further information on a topic (in the body of the post) or by linking you to the Index
3. Listing recent posts on related themes (at the end of the post).

But, as a general rule, the blog probably makes most sense if you start by reading the posts in the order in which they were written – starting with post 16.1.
