The image is interesting, the realization leaves room for improvement. The VGDA is caught in its own mecanism. Along its development and its realization the VGDA becomes more complex and sometimes fails to perform. As a consequence, it creates weak and complicated images. Is it able to run its growth or is it not giving itself enough chances to take its time ? Is it its own consensus that is responsible for its own death or is it suffocating by self management ? Surely it would be necessary to make radical changes of its means, and its productions of expressions as well as giving means to face its growth. That is the reason why we ask you who have read up to now (5362 ???? words) the following questions :
