Without reopening an old (and obviously irrelevant) argument, can you
give us a short summary of how you anticipated the place structures
being developed, if not by prescription?

It would seem that any language, and in particular lojban, which has
some kind of ordering defined (e.g. subject-verb-object, or X1 broda X2
X3) has to start with some agreement as to ordering of components and
what those components mean in a given order (e.g. hitter hits hittee),
or communication is impossible.
