LORDY! You folks do go on and on.
A humble request: *Could one of you, sort of, ...you know: Get To The Point?* I mean really. For *days* we've been inundated with vague postulations about math, music, ABMs, biomimicry (whatever that is) complexity (whatever *that* is) compression, fidelity of resolution, mental disorders (don't ask my opinion on this one), mentalism and calculus (cringe), etc. etc. etc. But, What is the point of this particular thread of expostulation? Because if it is "Complexity is", or some such, could somebody just please just say it? Thank you very much. -- Doug Roberts, RTI International [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 505-455-7333 - Office 505-670-8195 - Cell On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 5:49 PM, Marcus G.
