Whether GTD designed for pen and paper or not, I think the point is that it has lended itself to digital use quite readily - and there’s any number of good applications for this - see the thread on Nozbe - http://www.nozbe.com/a-A3F240E3 - which I began this week.

I do not want to prejudge your system because I realize it is in the formative stages and that you are seeking new ways to describe it. However I see some issues which may be more methodological than a reflection of the system itself:
1. Given the early stage of your system I think it unfortunate that you’ve made such great claims for it - the claims may over time prove themselves to be warranted, but in making them now you are in a sense setting yourself up for responses in the light of the claims.
2. The right and left brain analogy - I’m not sure it fits all that well, and like the claims for the system, may set you up.
3. You tie your system to one particular software tool - this may be limiting your potential market, and at this time limiting the number of people who will join you as the “beta” testers of your system. While Brainstorm is a very capable piece of software, it is not one which all of us feel comfortable with. As well as developing using Brainstorm, you might find the free program Noteliner an alternative - there could be ways to use its table tool to create what you want, or in other software such as MyInfo the cloning capabilities & columns. Just a thought.

I’ll continue to follow your progress with interest.
