+=== Discussion ===
+Amo is latin for 'I love'. I know, very pretentious. OMA is also a recursive acronym 'Oma's My Acronym' which is very geek and makes my brain happy.
+There is school of philosophical thought (Plato's theory of forms) that proposes a perfect mirror world in which exists an ideal form of everything we experience in our world. So a circle in our world reflects (imperfectly) the ideal 'circleness' that exists in the form world. This will be a familiar thought process to those who use object-oriented programming, especially pure object languages like Smalltalk.
+From this philosophy I wanted to completely encapsulate the possible classifications of event which I might undertake in everyday life. More importantly, I wanted to be able to classify events so that I knew what resources to allocate to a particular type. Perhaps also to automate the checking around an event so that an algorithm might automatically know the data types and scheduling requirements.
+Attempts to overlay this system onto regular personal information management systems have been mainly futile. The one system that might work is the text-only file format described at [[http://www.texttodo.org/|texttodo.org]].
+=== Future Work ===
+One day I might instantiate this as a front-end to texttodo.
