I remember one famous quote of Derrida - "There is nothing outside the text " means "There is no such a thing as out-of-the-text" means "There is nothing outside context". And further "context" is the entire "real-history-of-the-world!" And this analogy can be implemented in the software field
I am a bit perturbed and puzzled that you quote Derrida. His method of semiotic analysis or, deconstruction is largely orthogonal to what I see your project achieving. Synthesis of meaning and context is a bulwark of FUEL. Deconstruction is largely a break down of meanings in existing contexts and overturning the opposition while sharply etching them. I don't see the "elemental opposition" that marks Derrida's approach if posited on FUEL.
You are right...I should not try to choose the word 'analogy'...Sorry! Actually by quoting here I just wanted to show the importance of how much importance of 'text' lies in post modern philosophy. I never read Derrida's books, just some articles and novels of post modern Hindi writer...and I am not hesitant to accept that the more I try to understand the term Derridean 'Deconstruction', the more I become confused :-)
