Type

Examples
Usage:
A Precedes B. or A: Precedes: B
Iconic “Use A (B)” Means B Precedes A in evaluation as a Planguage
statement, and the results of B should be applied to the understanding of A.
Means; Statement A must be evaluated Before B can be (is allowed to be) evaluated.
Notes
“Precedes” applies to any Planguage specification, and its evaluation sequence. Before/After are specifically limited to the execution sequence of Evo-Steps.
Note: the Parameters After and Before are explicitly designed to specify Evo-Step sequencing. “Prededes” is more general, it applies to any specification, but that includes Evo-Step-Specification.
Keyed-Icon [Precedes] : (....) parenthesis to indicate sequencing.
The “->“ (Impacts) could not validly be used. A->B Means if you do A then it
has an effect on B.
B(A) Means A must be evaluated Before B.
B ((A) C)) Means evaluate A, then C, then B.
Keyed-Icons
Use parenthesis “(...)”as in mathematics. To indicate terms which depend on one another (inside a parenthesis) and to indicate sequence of evaluation, both left to right time sequence, and innermost parenthesis can be done independently.
So for example:
Spec23: Spec Y(A, F, K) Spec X:(B, G, P, Spec Z (R,W)).
In addition It can be used for sequencing steps:
Evo-Plan 2005: (Step A, Step B), (Step C, (Step X, Step Y)) (Step GG).
