I love the idea of a Pattern Language for Rationality!! Great project. One thing I noticed from your post is you didn’t mention Christopher Alexander’s later books “The Nature of Order” (published in the early 2000s). In many ways I think those books have some ideas that are even more germane to this project—in particular, Alexander lays out this concept of the “15 Fundamental Properties” which in a way are building blocks for his Patterns. I can imagine using some of the similar ideas for “X# of Fundamental Rationality Properties” that could build up to larger patterns for example...
In case it’s of interest, I wrote about Book 1′s 15 Properties of Nature of Order, here and Book 2 here.
