Abstract
To advance the understanding of different diagrammatic reasoning architectures that reason directly with images, we examine the relationship between Anderson’s Inter-Diagrammatic Reasoning (IDR) architecture and Furnas’ BITPICT architecture using the technique of cross-implementation. Implementing substantial functionality of each in the other, and noting what is easy and what is difficult, yields insights into the two architectures and such systems in general.
