The analyses behind ADP, each shown as an article. Newer ones are written in etalii.adp and shown here word for word.

• When thinking outgrows the tool: what people complain about when their tools cannot hold the shape of their thinking, knowledge or information, and what that means for ADP.
• The ontology as the application: how ontology-driven data-fusion platforms work, the view of software development they share, and the tools it suggests for ADP.
• Shaping technology while it is being made: constructive technology assessment and its relatives, read for the perspective on development they offer and the diagrams, designers and editors that perspective calls for.
• Seeing past the scene: how crime scenes and the investigations around them are recorded, visualised and reasoned about, why teams struggle to see past the scene, and the tools that practice calls for.
• Behavior that can be read as instructions: behavior trees from game development and robotics, the published work combining them with language models, and a diagram in which the behavior tree is the agent’s own instruction file.
• Many agents, one repository: how several coding agents working on one codebase are kept apart and brought back together, through branches and worktrees, environments, claims on tasks, specifications, merges and review, and what a diagram of agent activity must show.
