Modular Breakdown

OSE follows Module Based Design
This allows multiple parts of an artifact to be developed in parallel, and it allows these parts to be produced in parallel via a 'barnraising'-style social production model.
To achieve Module Based Design - a machine/artifact first needs to be broken down into modules. These modules must be designed such that they fit together with other modules. For this to happen, a clear interface design must be presented (next step in Development Process).
Protocol
- Use Google Drawing Template with ready-made symbols for generating your diagram.
- Break the machine down into components by studying History, Prior Art, and Industry Standards.
- Draw these components in the Drawing
- Publish to wiki as Module Breakdown - Machine/Module Name
- Link to your Module Breakdown in the Development Board for the particular machine/artifact.
