Hi Ken,
I'm glad to see you working on another project.
Those things can pull on you, so please let me wish you all the energy I can send to your new work. Please share whatever you like; I'd love to see it.
Based on your initial question, I have put some notes into a little PDF, which I would call a rough draft, and I will expand on it. I hope it can grow enough to become a chapter in a book.
Perhaps it might provide some ideas. This is the first time that I have shared anything like that here.

There are surely some additional chapters needed. I will expand it more. Please note that it is a private little thing, not an official Maxon document. So, if needed, the critique goes in my direction; thank you.
My best wishes for your new project
