Hi Richard Ruquist Empirical data, to my way of thinking, trumps scientific dogma (such as materialism) any day.

I previously mentioned to you that the Calabi-Tau compact manifolds appear to have the properties of a Stone space. But I cannot remember my reasoning. I also do not understand the relationship of the axions to the compact manifolds. However, on another list a fellow made an interesting case based on evolution that the volume of the pineal gland contains our thinking.
