Yes, of course, I want to know all of it In your mental framework for chess, it is a two-step thinking process, and then fill in the details of the 6 pawn formations, and the 5 pattern memory banks? Or is that only part of the picture? Where do the 3 advantages fit in this mental model (space/time/material)?

That is a very good question. You are sticking to the basics. Tomorrow when I am not so tired I will explain in detail how, what, when, where and why the dynamic and static aspects of time, space and material advantages and disadvantages fit in.

"... What are the 6 pawn structures you mention?..."
____________________
On page 107 of Pawn Power In Chess, by Hans Kmoch, he writes, "...During the brief initial stage of the game, the pawn formation normally assumes sufficient character to be classified under one of the following headings:
1. Open formations
2. Half-open formations
a. Ram formations
b. Jump formations
3. Free formations
4. Closed formations
5. Half-closed formations
6. Hybrid formations..."
In other words every opening results in one of the 6 formations listed above.
Wish Kmoch would have started with that! The guy may be good at chess but can't structure a book worth a lick. Seems that bit of knowledge is foundational to the whole effort. I got to page 65 before I decided this book was too much work. Even though I grew up with descriptive notation, i.e., P-K4, K-KB3 etc., I found it a bit tedious. And I wasn't too thrilled with page after page after page of defining terms in the opening chapters. Not a very reader-friendly effort to say the least. But that being said, the ideas were stellar. I just couldn't stomach the presentation. I have Sotlis's book, Pawn Structure Chess, on the way. Soltis is a better fit for me.

The opposite of the word "irony" is wrinkly. This is so, if you think like a 12 yr. old.
i always think like a 12 year old ... when i acting mature anyway
That was way too deep for me to to comprehend. What Yaroslav said, that is.
