Logically, from Marcos' last post onward, then, could it be time, then, to put up a few "Aunt Sallies"? I mean, each forum participant, on his/her own bat, puts up one or a few, reasonably developed, proposals?
Such as: "Here's a string of examples (with illustration if possible) I think constitute one group for these reasons." AND, if you're not me, "Here's another group..."
And then let everyone have a shot at each proposal. Sooner or later there'd be (slow, but that's good) consensus as to what forum participants felt convinced belonged to each group. (Perhaps, I should say "model" or "pattern" rather than group?)
I myself couldn't think of how many groups/patterns/models would be out there and I don't think we need to think of that now. I think that's what is still to be discovered. Why not just start with whatever helmet fascinates you, find a few companions for it, argue that they're related "because...", then stand back (and wince if necessary)?
What think?
Cheers
