     Versioning gives architects the ability to expand their ideas using technology that can reverse and add borrowed tactics. An architect now has the ability to take advantage of multiple disciplines because they are easily incorporated into their design. History would be a helpful discipline to incorporate because technolgy has advanced so quickly that the fundamentals of just about any older building can be improved and would help an architect to study flaws in architecture of the past and approve upon the future of buildings. "Versoning relies on the use of recombinant geometries that allow external influences to affect a system without losing precision of numerical control or the ability to translate these geometries using available construction technology. Architects can now practice on open models and focus on their work in motion rather than a flat image with physical flaws. It is accelerated and adapted so that input can be changed at anytime to reflect an improved output, this will improve the output of architecture firms worldwide and save on tedious reconstructive work. The article clarify's the meaning of versioning from believing it is used to create copies to the correct definition in which versioning is used to create a set of menus in order to reproduce a certain behavior, effect or detail of an object. Roads were used as an example because their is no set model for how every road will be, they will be moved, modified and corrected based on the best traffic pattern possible for drivers although they are all built similarly to promote the best performance possible. "The highway can be regenerated continuously to adapt to a changing manufacturing techniques yet maintains its clarity as an object-space-time construction." I felt this example was very helpful in understanding the context of versioning. I think versioning will be able  to alter the distinction between the aesthetic object and the theoretical text. The process just needs to be redefined and developed to include better techniques of fabrication and ways to change its properties.
