Introduction to mural

Abstract

This chapter attempts to give a general overview of the whole of the mural system by working through the development described in Chapter 1. It should be noted, however, that, whilst most of what’s contained herein is the truth (and where it’s not the appropriate confession appears), it is by no means the whole truth — not only has much detail been omitted but the example development has been specifically chosen to make it possible to skip over, or even ignore completely, some of the more esoteric features of the system. These are largely covered in the more detailed descriptions of the separate components of mural to be found in Chapters 3 to 8.
