thanks,
One remark though: In messages08.pd messages without a symbol/list/float selector ("meta-messages") are called "undefined strings" which I think is misleading and even wrong: Pd vanilla doesn't have proper strings, and these messages are defined like anything else, they even are very common everywhere in Pd ("reset", "set", "read", "open" etc. come to mind).
In messages09.pd ff. a lot of these meta-messages are used, so it's even more misleading to call them undefined strings before.
In the context of this explanation I would just call them "other messages" or meta-messages, which is the term used by Miller, or "custom messages".
