Hi Dan,
You made me very happy when you made it to my talk on Thursday. It was
impossible for me to present a new paradigm in less than 30 minutes, but
I hope I triggered your curiosity.
I think your best next step would be to read my article on the DCI
Execution model
http://fulloo.info/Documents/DCIExecutionModel-2.1.pdf
(I hope you will put me right where I have misunderstood something.)
The simplest possible example that illustrates the DCI concepts is
/BB5BankTransfer/. You can run it and browse its code in my current DCI
Squeak image

It would be great if we could do serious work on a realization of the
Dynabook dream together. Pharo may be a good starting point because its
community seems very open to new ideas.
Cheers

PS.
The BabyIDE is an application browser rather than a class browser. There
is a kind of user manual embedded in this old article

PPS.
I stick to a very old image because I cannot as yet file out DCI
Contexts and role methods. Bootstrap to a better image is therefore
impracticable.
