In order to not be starting with an absolutely ‘blank canvas’ i thought I might use the following quote as an entry point into the project:

Unsurprising? obvious? perhaps, but it ties my interest in the project’s themes back to the original Tron movie, and also my imaginings of a how the BASIC computer language’s TRON (TRAce ON) command work when i ran it to debug my little text based adventure games on my 80’s Dick Smith System-80…
