Description: This paper presents a simple programming system based on a clear separation of value-oriented programming and object-oriented programming. The value-oriented component is based on the model of objects and values connected by relations, and on production system-like rules to determine the alteration of these relations through time. It is shown that these few basic ideas permit simple prototyping of a software development environment. Additional keywords: Prototypes; Knowledge representation; Logic programming. (Author)
