Topic 2 - Object Breakdown Thinking


Key Concept No. 2

Object breakdown thinking
In the next few frames, I am going to describe the visual logic system that underpins the entire APT planning method. From this point on, I will refer to this logic as 'The Object Law'.

The following four bullet points describe the essence of this logic:

• If you were to cut an apple half, you would have two halves.

• If you were to cut each of these pieces in half, you would have four quarters.

• If you were to now eat one of these quarters, you would no longer have a complete apple.

• If you were to replace the missing quarter with a quarter of an orange, you still would not have a complete apple.

In other words, if you wish to achieve a great result, you need to identify all the 'things' that make up the total result.

 It's about that simple. As you read through this topic and the balance of this module, I am simply expressing the above logic in a format that has practical application.



 

 

If you can understand the logic of cutting an apple into smaller pieces, you can use the same logic to understand the fundamentals of APT.
