Extending From An Enclosure/ Discussion

and a comment could be going along this line:

Black's framework/sphere of influence has a nice box shape. It is not flat at all but clearly bi-dimensionnal. Whereas White's position is more flat, more one-dimensionnal. It is less effective than Black's.
Therefore, (a in the 2nd diagram of this page) is the correct extension from the enclosure; it is in the correction direction. We say that (a) is in the primary direction of the enclosure.
W2 or (b), on the other hand, even though it's not a bad move, isn t in the correct direction: its follow ups are less promising than "a".

note: I don t know if 'primary direction' is a common english word in go, it s just that i ve read it in by Otake's Opening Theory made Easy.

This diagram could then be followed by your diagram with the keima (to show a more Honte(?) move).

Section Extensions preventing extensions
The sentence "The choice for instead of a has a more subtle reason." is a teaser to me: either a link should be provided to the curious reader, either, if the explanation in the link is well above the target reader's head, this subtetly shouldn t be mentionned at all, either, it should be mentionned in a note, not in the main text.

Diagram Ideal for both

At this stage, is the reader supposed to have understood the idea of the page?
If so, then the diagram could be presented as an 'direct application exercise': "Where would you play? a,b,c or d?" The commentaries you provided would then be given as a hint: "Among a,b,c and d, one play is good for both players, one play is good for Black and not so good for White, one play is good for White and not so good for Black, one play is not so good for both players The solution could be put in a note.

Remember, I'm weak, both at go and at using SL so please take my remarks lightly...
btw, I'm not even sure whether comments on a page being reedited should be on the Discussion page or not.

This is taken from the excellent book "Intermediate Level Power Builder Volume 1" by Wang RuNan? 8-dan from Utopian. The example reads:

The value of each of these points (a,b,c,d) depends on the stones that are already on the board. On the right side, Black's corner enclosure at the top and White's at the bottom are both very solid, their directions of development are both pointing at "a". Whoever gets "a" will get a solid piece of territory. On the left side, Black and White each have only one stone in their respective corners; similar to the right side, "d" is the key point for both players. However, unlike the right side, even if one gets "d", his formation on the left will still be weak. So between "a" and "d", "a" is definitely more important than "d". Now let's consider "b" and "c": neither of them is the primary direction of development, so their value is not as big as "a". Also, "b" and "c" are of equal value. With this analysis, it is easy to see that "a" is of the greatest value and should be played first.
